ITEM: 9A1. Consider an ordinance amending Chapter 6, Section 6.502, Code of Ordinances,
regarding temporary food establishments. (Second Reading)

Steve Sheets, City Attorney
Kay Kelley, Supervisor, Retail Food Program at the Williamson County Health district sent a letter to the
City Attorney's office dated June 3, 2009. The letter outlined recent complaints received by the Health
Department related to unsanitary food storage and preparation at one day events. Currently vendors
operating at one day events are exempt from the Health District permitting process, and therefore,
vendors at these events are not inspected prior to operating.
In order to meet its goal of protecting the health of the citizens of Round Rock, the Health District
recommends that the City amend its definition of Temporary Food Establishment, so that vendors at
one day events may become subject to the Health District permitting and inspection process.
The Council approved the Georgetown version of the ordinance on first reading only at the July 9, 2009
City Council meeting. Attached is a revised ordinance for approval on second reading.
