Community Environmental Health
CEH Inspects places where food is eaten, processed, sold or stored (restaurants, markets, food stands, carnivals, etc.) for sanitation and food safety. Inspectors investigate complaints of suspected foodborne illness, insanitary conditions and other problems. Additionally, the program reviews plans and inspect construction of food facilities.
Land Use Protection

It is also responsible to provide environmental health input to various County committees, including the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors.
