No restaurant shall be operated within the city or its police jurisdiction, unless it conforms with the grade A or grade B, or approved itinerant restaurant requirements of this chapter; provided, that when any restaurant fails to qualify for any of these grades the health officer is authorized to suspend the permit or in lieu thereof to degrade the restaurant and permit its operation during a temporary period not exceeding thirty days. (Ord. 354 (part), 1988: prior code § 4-5-208)
A. At least once every three months the health officer shall inspect every restaurant located within the city. In case the health officer discovers the violation of any item of sanitation required for the grade then held, he shall make a second inspection after the lapse of such time as he deems necessary for the defect to be remedied, and the second inspection shall be used in determining compliance with the grade requirements of this chapter. Any violation of the same item of this chapter on such second inspection shall call for immediate degrading or suspension of permit.
B. One copy of the inspection report shall be posted by the health officer upon an inside wall of the restaurant, and the inspection report shall not be defaced or removed by any person except the health officer. Another copy of the inspection report shall be filed with the records of the Health Department.
C. The person operating the restaurant shall upon request of the health officer permit access to all parts of the establishment and shall permit copying any or all records of food purchased. (Ord. 354 (part), 1988: prior code § 4-5-206)
Samples of food, drink and other substances may be taken and examined by the health officer as often as may be necessary for the detection of unwholesomeness or adulteration.

Any restaurant, the grade of which has been lowered and all grade displays have been changed accordingly, or the permit of which has been suspended, may at any time make application for regrading or the reinstatement of the permit. Within one week after the receipt of a satisfactory application, accompanied by a statement signed by the applicant to the effect that the violated provision or provisions of this chapter have been conformed with, the health officer shall make a reinspection and thereafter as many additional reinspections as he may deem necessary to assure himself that the applicant is again complying with the higher grade requirements and, in case the findings indicate compliance, shall award the higher grade or reinstate the permit. (Ord. 354 (part), 1988: prior code § 4-5-209)
A. Every person connected with a restaurant or about to be employed, whose work brings him in contact with the handling of food, drink, utensils or equipment, shall be given a physical examination which shall include an X-ray examination of the chest and serological test by the Health Department or a licensed physician. If the person is examined by a licensed physician outside of the Health Department, he shall produce for the exarnination of the health officer, and for the filing as records of the Department of Health, his chest X-ray, the serological test, and other results of such physical examination. If the person passes the above examination, the health officer shall issue a certificate of health. The health officer may re-examine, or may cause to be re-examined, any employee at least once every calendar year, and additionally at any time he deems necessary. Such persons shall furnish such information, submit to such physical examination and submit such laboratory specimens as the health officer may require for the purpose of determining freedom from disease.
B. No restaurant shall employ any person unless he has been examined by the Department of Health or a licensed physician, and issued a health certificate in accordance with the provisions of this section.

No person who is affected with any disease in a communicable form, or is a carrier of any disease, shall work in any restaurant, and no restaurant shall employ any such person or any person suspected of being infected with any disease in a communicable form or of being a carrier of such disease. If the restaurant manager suspects that any employee has contracted any disease in a communicable form or has become a carrier of such disease, he shall notify the health officer immediately.
D. Hand-washing signs shall be posted in each toilet room used by employees. (Ord. 354 (part), 1988: prior code § 4-5-210)
When suspicion arises as to the possibility of transmission of infection from any restaurant employee, the health officer is authorized to require any or all of the following measures:
A. The immediate exclusion of the employee from all restaurants;
B. The immediate closing of the restaurant concerned until no further danger of disease outbreak exists in the opinion of the health officer;
C. Adequate medical examinations of the employee and of his associates, with such laboratory examinations as may be indicated. (Ord. 354 (part), 1988: prior code § 4-5-211)
