TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 4, 2001
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF
EULESS FOR FOOD ESTABLISHMENT INSPECTION SERVICES
AND PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL INSPECTION
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends City Council approve a two year contract renewal for Food Establishment
Inspection Services and Public Swimming Pool Inspection Services with the City of Euless.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Since 1990, the City of Euless has performed the administrative and inspection activities
related to enforcement of the food service sanitation (including day care facilities and long-
term care facilities), food store sanitation, and public swimming pool sanitation in the City of
Grapevine. The present contract expires September 30, 2001. The program is working well
for both Grapevine and Euless. With the level of service that has been received from the
Euless staff, Grapevine's staff feels the contract should be renewed for an additional two
years. The City of Euless is currently exploring revisions to their ordinance and fee schedule.
Should these be adopted, they will be brought before Council for consideration.
