Honorable Lee Fellinger, Mayor
and Members of the City Council
Of The City of Ames , Iowa
In Re: Repeal of Chapter 30 of the Municipal Code Pertaining
to Restaurants and Food Establishments
Dear Mayor Fellinger and Council Members :
As you know, effective January 1, 1979 , the field of res-
taurant and food establishment inspection has been pre-
empted by the State of Iowa. Recently the City Council
approved a contract between the City of Ames and the State
Department of Agriculture whereby the City Sanitarian would
continue to make food establishment inspections under the
supervision of the Department of Agriculture and in accor-
dance with the laws , rules and regulations of the State of
Iowa. Therefore, Chapter 30 of the Municipal Code should
be repealed.
Respectfully submitted,
John R. Kla s
