Public Hearing: Receive citizen input on a proposed Ordinance establishing ?Regulations of Hair Salons, Nail Salons, Barber Shops and Tattoo Parlors?
Dr. Schwartz - did not know proposals were going to be split - the SW Health Department here to propose ordinance for food establishments, sewer, nail salons, hair salons, tattoo parlors, etc. Several citizens have registered complaints. There are conditions that have not been sanitary and restaurants closed. Regulations of businesses are put upon the Health Department. Inspections are good for businesses. For the public this reassures them. Health Dept. has proposed fees that are small. We want to protect the health of those that are served. Many of the owners see value and want to display SW Health Department registration. The fees reflect fact that there is economic impact on town to provide service. Public health important to community. How important is public health - The time is right and need there and ask taht codes be enacted promptly.

Robert Pellegatto, Chapel Road - I don’t have a big problem with the Health issues, I have a problem with remarks that I hear Dr. Schwartz that there have been several complaints. The licenses that these professional people have were earned through an education included several subjects on public health and health issues. The people involved with these liceneses earn these license. They can not open business without a license through the State of Connecticut. Permits were issued estalbishing the types of businesses. Town permits are also secured. Any self respecting business person will open and run a clean business. Why do we need another license with someone else controlling another license. they are already mandated and controlled. Would like to know how many complaints we have had. Resolution should be propsed by the Town Council They should have had access prior to coming to the Town Council. It is a procedural issue. The education system is still there. Do not want to drive people out of Town.
Daniel Bell - Little Taste of Texas for 12 years. From what I have heard - when I opened business had to get a lot of inspections done and had to pay fees and license. Through State have to get food license. Do not mind following rules but the added fees. The taxes keep going up, sewers keep going up and we are in a recession and it is a very difficult time. We get inspected a few times per year. There are multiple licenss that we have to get. Have not heard of any complaints. Maybe these fees should be put on businesses that are not following the rules but not add feess to all businesses.
recess 7:30 p.m.
reconvened at 7:32 p.m.
Public -
Bob Benson West Road. These establishments need to be policed. Food establishments and barber shops but who is inspected of reviewing these establishments? As a member of the public would like to know that when I go eat there will not be any problems. There are hair salons and one tattoo parlor, how large of group is there to inspect. Does the State come into these establishments. I think it is not so much the license as it is the inspections that need to be done.
