SAFELY REDUCING BARRIERS TO CHARITABLE FEEDING Response to Resolution 20200729-087 and CIUR 2290 City of Austin Food Policy Board Virtual Meeting December 9, 2020 ▪ Don Hastings, Assistant Director ▪ Marcel Elizondo, Program Manager Austin Public Health Environmental Health Services Division 20200729-087 & CIUR 2290: Charitable Feeding Organizations (CFOs) The Resolution Asian American Quality of Life Develop recommendations to amend the Food Enterprise permitting process for charitable feeding organizations (CFOs), in order to reduce the barriers of providing access to healthy foods for our community’s vulnerable and food insecure populations. Encourage the City Manager to cease enforcing structure-based requirements that do not impact life-safety and health at least until December 31,2020, to avoid losing this valuable network of resources, especially during the upcoming demands that we will see due to COVID-19 related lay-offs. 2 Asian American Quality of Life CFO Concerns: Hurdles & Burdens Sharing space (e.g., a pantry in a church) complicates permitting process. Tenant status complicates needed facility upgrades. Change of use determination triggers a need for Certificate of Occupancy, which triggers the need for building plans. Food handler certification for volunteers can be costly & time-consuming. Physical requirements of Texas Food Establishment Rules & City Codes can be costly & for lower-risk food pantries might not be justified: — Self-closing doors; smooth ceiling tiles, 3-compartment sink separate from hand washing station separate from mop sink. — Kitchen vent hood. — Grease trap. City-required fees can be burdensome: APH, Austin Water, Austin Fire, DSD. 3 Health & Safety Considerations Prior to Action Asian American Quality of Life BENEFITS of Streamlining: — Lower CFO operating costs will increase resources available to feeding. — Lowered cost-of-entry may result more CFOs to serve the community. — Registration/ permitting a higher percentage of existing CFOs will result in safer operations community-wide (an estimated 24% of CFOs are currently permitted*). *Note: An unknown portion of unpermitted CFOs may be Cat. 1 CFOs not requiring permits RISKS of Streamlining: food establishments. — Food borne pathogens pose equal dangers in both commercial and non-profit — The Texas Food Establishment Rules (TFER) classify all food pantries/ CFOs as food establishments except pantries that only distribute shelf stable & uncut produce. — CFOs often rely on volunteers who may lack training in food safety and hygiene. — It is common for CFOs to transition to higher risk …
