I was somewhat amazed to read the report on the Concession Stand at the pool. The Manager said it is inspected yearly and yet there seem to be so many violations, it takes away your appetite.
These are some exact quotes
"The concession building is in poor condition and has likely exceeded its life expectancy"
"The concession building does not have gutters downspouts, or a metal drip edge and the asphalt shingles do not properly overhang the fascia. The fascia is rotting. The building does not have soffits and the wood rafter ends have been subject to weathering and insect damage"
"The food service equipment and furnishings in the concession building do not comply with current health codes. All equipment and furnishings should have legs or casters so the floor can be thoroughly cleaned under them"
"The sinks and faucets do no comply with current health codes. The unpainted concrete block walls above the sinks are splattered with stains, which are a health hazard. The plastic shirt sheeting provides a visual barrier for humans but also for insects and other pests"
"The interior materials of the concession building do not comply with current health codes. All surfaces should be washable. In particular, the unpainted concrete block walls are porous and can harbor mold, mildew and bacteria."
"the existing doors at the bathhouse and the concession building are in poor condition and are not accessible. This door opens in rather than out in the direction of egress......
door hardware on this door is typical throughout the building which is no longer allowed by current codes" A deadbolt should automatically retract when the lever handle is turned for emergency exit.

How can something with this many violations pass a Health Inspection? How can someone even take it upon themselves to serve food there? I think the inspection reports should be checked and double checked.
I think the inspection of the pool eating facility should be the same as for our local resturants. Have you seen the resturants that have been passed as ok to eat?
Lets not support two different standards..
Last year , when visiting the pool concession stand I recall only seeing the following items for sale: wrapped candy bars, canned soda, wrapped ice cream bars, potatoe chips, with all of these items wrapped from the supplier, WHERE IS THE HEALTH HAZARD ? Are we making too much of this issue , AGAIN.
Along with the wrapped items, I was told that things like barbecue was made and served there. This info came from LaSalle County.
