121 Ms. Bakken indicated she probably should not have included that in the <br />122 presentation, but it is restaurants, like a sushi restaurant, that has high risk foods <br />123 that are being served, like undercooked foods and that kind of thing. <br />124 <br />125 Chair Ficek indicated along with the coordination with Ramsey County, <br />126 Ms. Bakken talked about not wanting to confuse them with multiple agencies, so <br />127 he thought that was apoint that needs to be explored more. In terms of the penalties, <br />128 a bunch was shown, and he wondered if it was a one-time thing or how does it <br />129 work. <br />130 <br />131 Ms. Bakken explained that is a great point. She would need to look back at the City <br />132 Code because she was not sure if there was a specific number of violations where <br />133 that fee starts to increase for repeat offenders and maybe something to be <br />134 considered. She honestly did not know how often those fines are enforced and if <br />135 any restaurants are actually being charged, but she would check with the staff <br />136 members she has been talking to about it. <br />137 <br />138 Chair Ficek indicated Ms. Bakken talked about caterers and how they would be <br />139 exempt, he wondered about hospitals and nursing homes and why the City would <br />140 exempt them. <br />141 <br />142 Ms. Bakken explained because their food systems are pretty highly regulated as far <br />143 as what is being ordered and where it is being ordered from, staff thought it was a <br />144 little too burdensome to try to ask them to try to comply with those kinds of things. <br />145 There is a lot of prepacked food as well that she thought comes from different <br />146 medical catering companies. <br />147 <br />148 Chair Ficek asked if six months was enough time for staff to gather the input <br />149 needed. <br />150 <br />151 Ms. Bakken felt it would be enough time to set up two or three focus conversations <br />152 and maybe online surveys to gather more information and would give staff a lot of <br />153 information to work from. <br />154 <br />155 Ms. Bakken continued her presentation with the plastic bag ordinance. <br />156 <br />157 Member Mueller agreed with the staff recommendation. <br />158 <br />159 The Commission concurred with staff recommendation. <br />160 <br />161 7.
