By saying "any...,(material} <br />.....intended ,..for human consumption." and by not specif~Cing ; <br />end ®xclusions the council has brought under rc~gulatian many <br />areas of busin~ass that donut s®em to be intended. eq. grocery <br />stores; chiropractor offices; physician oft'icss; dental offices; <br />.pharmacies; garden stares which ael.l corn, mellons or pumpkins; <br />.business or offices which have a coffer pQt for the benefit'of' <br />their'pstrona; vending machines (both food do tobacco}; vendors <br />cif pre-packaged distfll.ad & spring water; end churches who <br />serve communion. <br />,, <br />Since my business is pharmacy, I am particularly bothered by <br />the .fact that the definition is written to include drugs.,.orhether <br />sold by a pharmacy ar.a physician, <br />s®ctian 1.1C:'.food vehicle would be applied to any vehicle <br />uaed'tiy the business mentioned in the paragraph on 17 above. <br />This would fnclude:,:my delivery cars as well as emergency health <br />care.. vehicles such as rescue squad cars, and ambulances. <br />section 1,27: again as pertaining to the health business, :,this> <br />definition of utensils would: apply to prescription vials and syringes. <br />Section 2,9a In this section. end section 1,20 &2.7~°ttiere is <br />a~."'cetch 22. Section 2.9 provides that a "food establishment <br />license" Head not. be purchased by a retail candy outlet where <br />a "retail candy outlet license" has been purchased. However <br />e retail candy outlet is defined as a food establishment where-in <br />wrapped sandy is.sold. It does not ssy an exclusively. wrapped <br />candystor~---,just that any: store otherwise construed as a <br />food establishment, if he sells candy can take the less®r,lfcensa, <br />section 3,1. In that the. price of any license should have soma <br />corelation to the cost of administering such license; by granting <br />~. fee exemptions to a broad group of businesses you increase the <br />~fae~ato the non-exempt businesses. This type. of added. taxation <br />should no longer be considered responsible administration. <br />.,~ <br />
