13. Work Flow at Environmental Health 6.Jean will tabulate each inspection and also enter any violations or follow-up activities into Violation Spreadsheet which is issued to cities quarterly. 7.Dermot reviews all inspections weekly with Jean. 8.Any violation or follow up activity is given to Mae Gardner 9. Mae will visit these sites, and close out the violation or work with City staff and issue a fine and re- inspect until violation is corrected 10. Close out the violations on Envisions
