§ 8.45.090. Public health permit suspension or revocation—Notice of closure.

A.

Upon issuance of a written notice of suspension or revocation of the public health permit by the Director of Health and Human Services or his/her designee, the Director of Health and Human Services or his/her designee shall post a notice of closure at the food facility so as to be clearly visible to the general public and to patrons.

B.

Upon issuance of the written notice of suspension or revocation of the public health permit by the Director of Health and Human Services or his/her designee, the food facility shall immediately close to the general public and to patrons and shall discontinue all operations until the public health permit has been reissued or reinstated by order of the Director of Health and Human Services or his/her designee or until the facility no longer operates as a food facility.

C.

The notice of closure shall remain posted until removed by the Director of Health and Human Services or his/her designee. Removal of the notice of closure by any person other than the Director of Health and Human Services or his/her designee or the refusal of a food facility to close upon issuance of the written notice of suspension of the public health permit is a violation of this Chapter and may result in the suspension or revocation of the food facility's public health permit and may be punishable as specified in Section 8.45.100.
