MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #99046
BY: Commissioner Eric Coleman, District #21 IN RE: HEALTH DIVISION - FOOD HANDLING POLICY AND EDUCATION PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS food-borne illness kills over 10,000 people each year. Over 70% of
all outbreaks originate in food service operations and according to the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), as many as 40% are the result of poor hand washing and
cross-contamination; and
WHEREAS hand-transmission is a critical factor in the spread of bacteria,
pathogens and viruses which cause disease and food-borne illness. While everyone
is vulnerable, over one-third of the population is at high risk, including the
elderly, young children, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune
systems (including those with the common cold or a seasonal flu); and
WHEREAS the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revised Food Code of 1997
recommends the implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point
(HACCP) guidelines. The HAACP is a prevention-based food safety system that is
designed to prevent the occurrence of potential food safety problems and stresses
proper hand washing and use of utensils or gloves for working with ready-to-eat
foods ; and
WHEREAS the FDA is recommending the implementation of HACCP in food
establishments because it is a system of preventive controls that is the most
effective and efficient way to ensure that food products are safe. A HACCP
system clearly identifies the food establishment as the final party responsible
for ensuring the safety of the food it produces; and
WHEREAS a good education and training program for food handling and
sanitation is key to successful HAACP implementation. Critical in any food
establishment is ongoing personnel training, including management. Personnel
training should instill and nurture an understanding of where potential problems
exist and appropriate food handling practices.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby request the Oakland County Health Division to amend the Sanitation
Code for Oakland County to include the following:
(1) A requirement that any person/employee of a food service
establishment must not touch exposed foods with their bare hands;
and
(2) A requirement that any person/employee of a food service
establishment that handles food or unsealed food containers shall
wear hair coverings and avoid bare-hand contact with exposed foods
by the use of disposable gloves, deli tissue, suitable utensils or
dispensing equipment.
(3) A Food Handling Safety Education and Training Program that
emphasizes to food handlers that disposable gloves are not a
replacement for proper hand washing. This program shall incorporate
a caution to food service employees and management that hands should
be washed and disposable gloves should be discarded after engaging
in any activities that may contaminate hands and/or gloves.
Examples include the following:
A. After touching bare human body parts.
B. After using the restroom.
C. After handling animals.
D. After coughing, sneezing, using a tissue, using tobacco,
eating, or drinking.
E. After handling soiled equipment or utensils.
F. Before food preparation.
G. When switching between raw foods and ready-to-eat foods.
H. After handling money.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does
hereby charge the Oakland County Health Division with amending the Oakland County
Sanitation (Food) Code and administering the implementation of the new food
handling requirements and Food Handling Safety and Education Program.

IN RE: HEALTH DIVISION - FOOD SERVICE INSPECTION SCORE POSTING POLICY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County, by and through its Health Division Professionals,
has worked diligently for the protection of its citizens in the review and
inspection of public food service operations in order to establish standards of
sanitation and public health and to enforce the provisions of the state law
dealing with food service sanitation; and
WHEREAS in the State of Michigan all retail food service operations are
licensed through inspections conducted by the local health departments using a
100 point scoring system to rate such items as food, facilities, equipment and
maintenance; and
WHEREAS as a leader and innovator in the efforts to improve both the
inspection system and public awareness of safe establishments, Oakland County is
involved in an on-going process with the State of Michigan to develop an improved
inspection system; and
WHEREAS in Oakland County, the retail food service sanitation inspection
reports are public information, however, the inspection reports and scores are
not posted in public view in these food service establishments; and
WHEREAS other counties and states have enacted programs that require the
posting of restaurant inspections using a 100 point scoring system. The use of
the posting requirement system has provided an incentive to many restaurant
owners to become more conscious of the health regulations and to improve their
operations in order to obtain a higher score; and
WHEREAS acknowledging the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
estimates that as many as 9,000 deaths and up to 33 million illnesses each year
are directly linked to food contamination, the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners finds that a vital component of public health and safety is to
enhance efforts to educate both consumers and food handlers and to make
restaurant and food safety information more accessible.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby support a posting requirement system for all county-inspected food
establishments and public facilities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does
hereby request the Oakland County Health Division to amend the Sanitation Code
for Oakland County to include a policy requiring the following:
(1) That all Oakland County Retail Food Service Establishment
Inspection Reports and inspection scores be posted within each
respective food establishment in an area clearly visible to
patrons/public, as determined by the Oakland County Environmental
Health inspector.
(2) That each food establishment must post the most recent Retail Food
Service Establishment Inspection Report and maintain all subsequent
reports at the establishment. The current and prior inspection
report(s) must be available for review by the public if requested.
(3) That the scores contained within each Oakland County Retail Food
Service Inspection Report be more readily available to the public
by accessing the Oakland County web page on the Internet.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that non-compliance with the adopted inspection
posting requirement on the part of any food service establishment is determined
to be in violation of the Oakland County Sanitation Code and shall be deemed a
civil infraction, subject to a monetary fine as determined by the Oakland County
Health Division.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Health Division is charged
with administering the implementation of the educational component and the
amendments to the Oakland County Sanitation Code requiring the posting of Food
Service Establishment Inspection Reports.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the amendments to the Oakland County Sanitation
Code be adopted following the required Public Hearing being conducted by the

IN RE: HEALTH DIVISION - HEPATITIS A VACCINATIONS FOR CHILDREN
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS hepatitis is a liver disease spread by a virus and reported cases
of Hepatitis A have doubled and nearly quadrupled in certain areas of
metropolitan Detroit; and
WHEREAS health officials in Oakland County have seen small hepatitis
outbreaks tied to day-care centers and subsequent related transmission to
families; and
WHEREAS recognizing that a vaccine to prevent Hepatitis A is rarely given,
an advisory panel on immunization practices recommended that the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention require Hepatitis A vaccines for the 11 states,
and any counties, that have had high levels of hepatitis outbreaks in the past
ten years; and
WHEREAS Dr. Carolyn Bird, Chief of Medical Services for the Oakland County
Health Division has publicly stated that, In Oakland County, we had a couple of
day-care outbreaks, and we=ve had a lot of transmission we can=t tell what it=s
due to. Further, Dr. Bird has indicated a desire to be able to provide
immunizations to children 2 and older in day care.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby request the Oakland County Health Division to study the feasibility
and impact of a health policy in Oakland County that would require Hepatitis A
immunizations be given or made available to children two years of age and older
who attend a day-care facility.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Oakland County Health Division report to
the General Government Committee within sixty (60) days on its recommendations.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
