(1) A code enforcement/health officer shall inspect each food establishment within the City of Pearland at least every twelve (12) months, and he/she shall make as many additional inspections as are necessary for the enforcement of this chapter. Additional inspections may be risk-based, at the request of the food establishment, or in response to complaints. (2) The code enforcement/health officer, after proper identification, shall be permitted to enter any food establishment at any reasonable time, for the purpose of making inspections to determine compliance with this chapter. The code enforcement/health officer shall be permitted to examine the records of the establishment to obtain information pertaining to food and supplies purchased, received, or used, or to persons employed. (3) The findings of a food establishment’s inspection shall be recorded in an inspection report, and a copy of each inspection report with number score and corresponding letter grade shall be provided to the person in charge of the establishment. It is the responsibility of the person in charge to post the food establishment’s most recent letter grade upon an inside wall or window near the main public entrance of the establishment, in a location readily visible to consumers. The inspection report must be posted in a conspicuous location. Such report and letter grade shall not be defaced or removed by any person except the code enforcement/health officer. Any person, firm, or corporation who fails to properly post the inspection report and the corresponding letter grade as required, or who improperly defaces or removes the report or letter grade, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other punishment as provided by this Code. (4) Any food establishment wishing to proactively request a reinspection may pay a reinspection fee and will receive a follow-up inspection within ten (10) business days. The inspection report, numerical score, and letter grade will be replaced with the information from the most recent inspection. Such proactive reinspection may only occur once per establishment per twelve (12) months. (5) Any food establishment scoring seventy-five (75) or below on an inspection must pay a reinspection fee and receive a follow-up inspection within ten (10) business days. Failure to pay the reinspection fee prior to reinspection, or a second score of seventy-five (75) or below on an inspection, shall result in an order to immediately cease all food service operations. Any person, firm, or food establishment proven to have failed to immediately cease all food service operations upon an order from the city shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other punishment as provided by this Code. (6) If a food establishment located at permanent premises is being inspected for the first time by a city code enforcement/health officer, a permit may not be issued until the location has passed final inspections by the code enforcement/health officer, building official, and the fire marshal, or their respective designees. If a food establishment changes ownership, makes changes to the type of food establishment being operated, or significantly remodels the permanent premises, a new inspection by the city code enforcement/health officer is Docusign Envelope ID: 23096C5F-DD46-417E-B4B2-5EA1A94F366A ORDINANCE NO. 1635 required. A food establishment may not store food, prepare food for, or serve food to the public until the permit has been issued. (7) If a food establishment operating or applying to operate at a permanent location fails to appear for a scheduled inspection or cancels a scheduled inspection with less than twenty- four (24) hours’ notice, payment of the reinspection fee must be made in full before a second inspection will be scheduled. (8) For a food establishment operating as a mobile food unit (MFU), a code enforcement/health officer will only permit the MFU after all other inspections required for the specific type of MFU being operated have been completed and approval has been given by the inspecting entities. If the MFU fails a second inspection by the code enforcement/health officer, fails to appear for two scheduled inspections, or cancels two scheduled inspections with less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice, payment of a reinspection fee must be made in full before a subsequent inspection by the code enforcement/health officer will be scheduled. (9) For a food establishment operating as a temporary food service establishment, all violations found during application review shall be corrected prior to permit approval, and all violations shall be corrected immediately when found during any inspection made in connection with a permitted event. If violations are not corrected, the code enforcement/health officer may deny or suspend the permit. Any person, firm, or establishment who is found to operate, or to have failed to immediately cease operations upon denial or suspension of temporary food service permit shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other punishment as provided by this Code. Sec. 11-22. Permits required. No person shall operate a food establishment who does not possess a valid permit issued to him/her by the code enforcement/health officer. Such permits shall be known as a "food establishment permit", a "temporary food establishment permit", or a "mobile food unit permit", hereinafter referred to collectively as "permit", "permits", or "food permits". Only a person who complies with the requirements of this chapter shall be entitled to receive or retain such a permit. Permits are not transferable from one (1) person or place to another person or place. A valid permit shall be posted in view of the public in every food establishment and every temporary food establishment.

(4) The code enforcement/health officer shall issue the appropriate permit to the applicant if inspection reveals that the proposed food establishment complies with the requirements of this chapter. Sec. 11-23. Mobile food units. (1) Any person desiring to operate one (1) or more mobile food units shall obtain an individual permit for each operating mobile food unit from the code enforcement/health officer. Each permit will be issued unit-by-unit only after an inspection reveals satisfactory compliance with state law and this chapter as applicable. Such permit shall remain the property of the City of Pearland. (2) No person shall operate or cause to be operated any mobile food unit which does not possess a valid permit issued by the code enforcement/health officer. Any person, firm, or establishment who is found to have operated or caused to be operated a mobile food unit without a valid mobile food unit permit shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other punishment as provided by this Code. (3) Such permit shall be affixed by the code enforcement/health officer on the mobile food unit in a conspicuous place where it can be viewed by patrons. A permit shall set forth the business name, state registration number, mobile food unit permit number, and expiration date for said permit. (4) Every mobile food unit must be readily identifiable by its business name and phone number that are printed, permanently affixed, and prominently displayed on the back of the unit and on the side of the unit from which food is served, in letters not less than three (3) inches in height. (5) Permitted mobile food units shall operate in compliance with all regulations of the Unified Development Code as adopted by the City Council. A person who fails to operate in compliance with the Unified Development Code shall be deemed guilty of a Class C misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other punishment as provided by this Code.

All food permits issued under this chapter shall be issued for a maximum of twelve (12) months. (1) Food establishment permits are valid for the calendar year issued and expire on December 31 of the year issued. Submission of the proper application and any required fee(s) are required for issuance of new food service permits. Establishments obtaining a new food service permit after January 31 of a calendar year will be charged a permit fee prorated on a monthly basis. (2) Mobile food unit and temporary food establishment permits shall be issued for a period of twelve (12) months beginning on the date of issuance. The mobile food unit and temporary food establishment permits expire on the last day of the twelfth month after the permit was issued. Submission of the proper application and any required fee(s) are required for issuance of new mobile food unit or temporary food establishment permits. The process to obtain a mobile food unit or a temporary food establishment permit is the same whether it is a new application, or the applicant has previously applied for a permit. (3) Food establishments renewing food establishment permits will be charged the standard fee for the type of permit being requested until January 31, or the first business day after January 31. If an establishment wishing to renew a food service permit submits the application and/or fee(s) after that time, it will be charged one- and one-half times the original permit fee. Sec. 11-26. Suspension of permit. (1) The city code enforcement/health officer may suspend any permit issued under this chapter with such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances, if the permit holder does not comply with the requirements of this article, or if the operation of the food establishment, mobile food unit, or temporary food establishment otherwise constitutes a substantial hazard to public health. Suspension is effective upon service of the notice required by subsection (2) below. Where a permit is suspended, food service operations shall immediately cease. (2) Whenever a permit is suspended, notice shall be given to the permit holder or the person in charge of any employee or agent of the food establishment or mobile food unit. Such notice shall set forth: (a) The specific conditions in the food establishment, mobile food unit, or temporary food establishment which are in violation of this chapter or the specific conditions which constitute a substantial hazard to public health, and Docusign Envelope ID: 23096C5F-DD46-417E-B4B2-5EA1A94F366A ORDINANCE NO. 1635 (b) That the permit holder may file with the municipal court a request for a hearing within three (3) business days after the permit is suspended, but that if the food establishment is allowed to reopen before the hearing is held, the hearing will be cancelled, (c) That, if a hearing is held, the permit holder must appear in person and/or may be represented by counsel, and his/her counsel may present testimony and may cross- examine all witnesses. (3) Whenever a food establishment permit is suspended, it may be physically removed from the premises by the code enforcement/health officer and retained at the office of the code enforcement/health officer until the suspension has been lifted or modified. (4) Whenever a mobile food unit permit is suspended, the code enforcement/health officer shall physically remove the permit from the mobile food unit. (5) All hearings shall be held in the municipal court and presided over by a municipal court judge. All hearings shall be, as much as practicable, conducted pursuant to the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. If the permit holder fails to appear at the hearing at the time, place, and date specified, the city shall present sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case showing violation of this chapter or conditions constituting a hazard to public health which formed the basis of the suspension of the permit. (6) If the municipal court finds that the food establishment was, in fact, in violation of this chapter or that it constituted a hazard to public health, the court shall make written findings of fact and shall order the permit suspended until all violations of this chapter are corrected and any conditions constituting a hazard to public health are eliminated. A copy of the findings and order of the court shall be either given to the responsible party upon conclusion of the hearing, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the permit holder. If the municipal court finds that the public interest will be adequately protected by a warning or other penalties authorized under this chapter, it may reinstate the permit. (7) Whenever the reasons for a suspension no longer exist, the permit holder or the person in charge shall notify the code enforcement/health officer that the conditions under which the permit was suspended have been corrected and that an inspection is requested. Upon receipt of request and payment of any required reinspection fee, such inspection shall be conducted as soon as possible and in no event, no later than three (3) business days after the receipt of the request for inspection. (8) When a mobile food unit permit which has been suspended is reinstated, a new permit shall be affixed to the unit. A reinstated permit shall include all of the same information as that which appeared on the permit, which was suspended, and shall not be reinstated until a reinspection has been completed and any required reinspection fee(s) paid. Sec. 11-27. Revocation of permit. (1) A food establishment permit, mobile food unit, or temporary food establishment permit may be revoked if: (a) The permit holder or his/her agents or employees interfere with an inspection of the food establishment by the code enforcement/health officer or his/her authorized agents; or Docusign Envelope ID: 23096C5F-DD46-417E-B4B2-5EA1A94F366A ORDINANCE NO. 1635 (b) There are repeated or serious violations of the applicable portions of this chapter or other applicable laws; or (c) There are repeated or serious violations of federal or state food laws or laws regulating food establishments as defined in this chapter; or (d) In the case of mobile food units, the permit holder or his/her agent has not reported an accident to the code enforcement/health officer within twenty-four (24) hours of the time the accident occurred, if such accident resulted in damage to the fire suppression system, water system, waste retention tank, food service equipment, or any facility or equipment which may result in the contamination of the food being carried. (2) Prior to revocation, written notice shall be given to the permit holder or person in charge. Such notice shall set forth: (a) The grounds upon which the city will seek revocation of the permit, including any specific violations of this chapter or of federal or state law upon which the city will rely in seeking revocation of the permit.

If the permit holder wishes to request a hearing, s/he must do so within three (3) business days after the permit is revoked, and (c) That the permit holder may appear in person and/or be represented by counsel, may present testimony, and may cross-examine all witnesses. (3) Such hearing shall be held in accordance with this chapter. If the permit holder fails to appear at the hearing at the time, place, and date specified, the city shall present sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case showing that an act or acts have been committed which constitute ground(s) for revocation of a permit. (4) After completion of the hearing, the court shall make written findings as to whether grounds exist for revocation of the permit. If the court finds that grounds do exist for revocation of the permit, he/she shall revoke such. If the permit holder appears at the hearing, a copy of the court's findings shall be given to that person. If the permit holder does not appear at the hearing, a copy of the court's findings shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the permit holder. If the address of the permit holder is unknown, or if such findings are returned undelivered, such findings shall be served on the person in charge of the food establishment, mobile food unit, or temporary food establishment. Upon service of a written notice that the permit has been revoked as provided herein, all food operations permitted by the permit shall cease immediately. Any person, firm, or food establishment proven to have failed to immediately cease all food service operations upon an order from the city shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction by a court of competent jurisdiction, be assessed fines or other punishment as provided by this Code. (5) Whenever a permit is revoked, it shall be physically removed from the premises or mobile food unit by the code enforcement/health officer.

A permit holder shall ensure that the food establishment or mobile food unit is always in full compliance with this chapter.
