Under a proposal from town Health Director David Knauf, Darien restaurants that fail inspection more than once within any 12-month period would pay higher and higher fees for each failure. A member of the town’s Advisory Board of Health suggested another higher fee, which Knauf and the full board endorsed: A new $100 fine for any food-serving establishment not displaying the latest health inspection rating — a practice already required by town ordinance but which, so far, hasn’t had a fine attached to it. — “New Food-Serving Establishment Closed for 30 Days,” see sidebar, below. Knauf described the proposal at a meeting of the health board last Wednesday. He said he has been told that the matter will be on the agenda of a January meeting of the Board of Selectmen, which is expected to vote later on whether to adopt it.
