" We've seen establishments establish-ments which have a whole menagerie, where the chef has a parrot right next to the grill." says Frank Singleton. As Summit County's health director. Singleton has the responsibility of seeing that the local restaurants restau-rants comply with the new code, adopted in May by the Hah State Board of Health. This Newspaper reporter listened in one morning last week as Singleton explained the rules to a group of new restaurant employees at the Copper-bottom Inn. But before this goes any further, relax. The story about the parrot, along with must "I Singleton's other reminiscences, are drawn I nmi his pre-Summit County days. "I u.-ed to work in a restaurant." he tells the group. "So I'm well aware ol what goes on in the back rooms." Singleton's concern is focused fo-cused on one issue: the possibility possi-bility of food poisoning. Whether he is talking to restaurant employees or actually inspecting the kitchens, kitch-ens, he is concentrating on those violations which could threaten the health of the customer. He notes that his inspection inspec-tion forms treat cosmetic violations as minor offenses. "No one has ever got sick from hair in his food. No one has ever got sick from a spoon with dried deposits on it. No one has ever got sick from a greasy mustard jar.." One of the major violations is failure to store food at the proper temperature, a practice prac-tice that could lead to a dangerous growth of bacteria. bac-teria.

He has expressed concern about the "artsy-craftsy" use of large crocks of butter in conjunction with salad bars in certain restaurants, because he is well aware of the tendency to save what is left over at the end of the flay. "It's a normal human reaction not to waste food. So we try not to serve an overabundance of food." Singleton says he is more interested in having restaurant restau-rant employees learn proper food-handling techniques than handing out certificates. certifi-cates. "We don't require cards for food handlers because they are a farse. I don't see w hat that piece of cardboard does beside generate revenue." reve-nue." In Singleton's words, most of the regulations are "common sense described as government gobbledy-gook." gobbledy-gook." However, he noted that the Utah Department of Health goes to great lengths to explain the rationale behind the regulations. Code revisions have taken out some of the old requirements, require-ments, such as the stipulation stipula-tion that all toilets have split seats, or that all food be stored 15 inches off- the ground. "We finally traced that one down one day." he said, trying to explain the thinking behind the 15-inch requirement. require-ment. "It goes way back to the days of the old country store.' That's how high a male dog could urinate." The new Utah regulations do make allowances for patrol dogs and guide dogs, when "under proper control." con-trol." "A lot of people used to lock patrol dogs in the kitchens overnight." Singleton Single-ton said.' "But what a dog can do in a kitchen in 12 hours...." During his inspections of Park City restaurants, he has discovered violations which are difficult to cor rect. One Main Street establishment estab-lishment only has one exit. Another restaurant at the Resort has no restrooms nearby. - But he has expressed r willingness to work with tht . owners to find solutions rather than arbitrarily shut them down. "I realize that a lot of things were laid back in the past," he said. "These are the types of problems that only Park City has." Singleton hopes to complete com-plete his first round of inspections in Park City by the end of December. A second visit will be paid to those restaurants with major violations. What's in Store for Marsac After Last School Bell Rings? Alter nearly 45 years of kids' voices echoing through the hallways, Marsac Elementary Ele-mentary will be a school no more after the Christmas holidays. Beginning Jan. 5, Parley's Park Elementary will usher in the transplanted trans-planted students. But what's to become of Marsac? Currently, the Park City School Board plans to sell the building, and one of the interested buyers is the city. At last Thursday's City Council meeting, discussion turned to how to finance the $1 million purchase, and what to do with it if it becomes city property. Ideas suggested by council members included moving all city offices into the school, or turning it into a community center that might house such things as a skating rink or a performing arts arena. But if the city offices moved to Marsac, what would City Hall and the Memorial Building be used for? According to City Manager Arlene Loble, the Recreation Department would have no trouble using additional space in the Memorial Building. Build-ing. But City Hall is too small lor a community center, the council agreed. "It could be turned into the City Hall Cafe," Councilman Richard Martinez quipped. Loble noted that she will research methods available to the citv to finance the Loble. "We just have to consider the feasibility." Even if the city did purchase the school, Loble said her personal preference would be to expand City Hall and move all the city departments into that build- purchase ofrMarsaef but.- inu.Shesaid floor plans havl added that :all Additional btrf'aVa'iJi uphar woM $.100,000 would be needed to upgrade the building. Where to get that money prompted Mayor Jack Green to ask the council if the city ought to take on the financial burden. If the city decided not to buy Marsac, Councilwoman Tina Lewis commented, a developer deve-loper could tear it down and "put up duplexes." "An option to the city not buying it might be to try to work with a developer to build something that would be a nice addition to the downtown area," Lewis said. On Tuesday, Loble said the city must consider financing fit her projects before making a decision on the purchase of Marsac. "We have to consider City Hall, the Memorial Building, the renovation of the Miners Hospital, a new building at City Park, the proposed swimming pool..." said include building onto the back of the existing City Hall, plus opening up the walls into the old fire station and the public library. She said the design would allow access in through the fire station, which currently houses the 10 o'clock whistle. A balcony with a brass rail could be constructed in the top of the station tower, she said, and could become an historic landmark. On the outside, the facades of all three buildings would be restored. "I'm an historic preservation preserva-tion buff," Loble said. "And I get swayed, but I think the project could be beautiful." Such a redesign of the builfiings would increase the gaiableatj4t Ihree fold, the city manager said, and would be less expensive than buying and upgrading Marsac. Councilwoman Lewis echoed Loble's preference for expanding City Hall. "I'm leaning toward renovating reno-vating City Hall and seeing something nice done with Marsac, whether we own it or not," Lewis said. "But right now, the city has to figure out what it can afford and what it needs." : i .; a m.
