On-site consultation regarding pool concession stand, Skippers Sky Box.  Establishment is unable to fully enclose food preparation and storage area during service and when establishment is closed. On-site meeting included Carey Panier, Assistant Director of Environmental Health, Stephanie Streight, Sanitarian, and Skippers Sky Box manager, Curt Johnson.  Food Handler Training was discussed and information provided for staff. Discussed current strategies in place to preclude pests, including enclosing all utensils/plates/cups/etc. in closed containers or in closed cabinets when not in use. Discussed repairing any breaks in screening and/or providing a smaller mesh screening. Discussed adding caulk in between wooden planks in flooring located in food preparation area and/or adding screen material on the underside. Air curtains are a possible solution but may not be the most cost effective or feasible for the physical limitations of the structure. Main focus should be additional protection of the main food preparation area. Please contact this Department with your plan of action to preclude pests before opening for the 2016 season. Please call 309-679-6161 with any questions or concerns. If extensive remodeling occurs a Plan Review may be required.
No violation noted during this evaluation.
