Each month, the Allegan County Health Department inspects restaurants, schools and other facilities for unsafe food practices. Adhering to proper safety practices is critical to preventing foodborne illness and promoting public health. ACHD recently completed an online portal for viewing reports, available at allegancounty.org/health/environmental-health/food . The Sentinel is sharing "priority" violations — those that could "directly lead to contamination of food or increase the risk of transmitting a foodborne illness" — from Holland, Hamilton, Saugatuck, Douglas and Fennville in the month of October, as well as corrective measures taken. The Sentinel will also report on "priority foundation" violations — ones that could lead to a priority violation. The health department notes "core" violations, but The Sentinel will only report on those if there's a significant accumulation in a single eatery or if that eatery also has more serious violations.

OTTAWA COUNTY — On paper, the long-term numbers for Ottawa County offer a reassuring baseline: Year after year, local suicide rates remain below state and national averages.

Officials pleased with final budget for Holland Recreation Center

Officials approved a $25.6 million budget for the new Holland Recreation Center during a meeting Nov. 4. “That's under what we had originally talked to you about, (and) way under the nervous numbers we were getting to,” said Assistant City Manager Matt Van Dyken. “... (We are) very happy with the way the bids came back.” Holland City Council also voted to amend a contract with Lakewood Construction and authorized the City Manager’s Office to approve change orders of up to $50,000. “We do not plan on coming back with an increase to this budget,” Van Dyken said. “I actually think we may be able to find some value that we can take back out of this budget.” The approvals are the latest step in a monthslong process. In July, officials approved $22 million in capital improvement bonds for the development. That's in addition to a $5 million donation from the Heeringa Estate. More: Holland City Council approves recreation center bonds up to $22M In September, councilmembers approved a $1.089 million early site work package covering the preparation needed to support the building’s structure.
