Quick Recap:

• Public hearing on proposed reflexology regulations being scheduled for Jan 4, 2023 meeting
• Admin assistant position being posted in January to extend search to external candidates
• Move from 2 times per year inspection for all food license holders to a risk based approach to begin in January.
