MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #99135
BY: Commissioners Eric Coleman, District #21; Frank H. Millard, Jr., District #4
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. Many of
these food-borne outbreaks originate in food service operations. 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 Department of Human Services/Health
Division to amend Article IV of the Sanitation Code for Oakland County to include
the following:
1. A requirement that the Health Division develop and implement a
comprehensive Food Handling Safety and Education Program for food
service personnel in Oakland County.
2. A requirement that prior to receiving a permit to operate a new
food service business in Oakland County each business applicant
shall have at least one (1) employee/staff member per food service
business site who has successfully completed a food service manager
certification program offered by the Oakland County Health
Division, the Michigan Restaurant Association, the Michigan
Department of Agriculture or successor agency or a food service
manager certification program offered through a Michigan community
college, college or university that meets Michigan criteria for
food service manager certification.
3. A requirement that within five (5) years of adoption of a revised
Article IV of the Oakland County Sanitary Code, all food service
businesses operating within Oakland County shall be required to
have at least one (1) employee/staff member per business site who
has successfully completed a food service manager certification
program offered by the Health Division, the Michigan Restaurant
Association, the Michigan Department of Agriculture or successor
agency or a food service manager certification program offered
through a Michigan community college, college or university that
meets Michigan criteria for food service manager certification.
4. A requirement that any employee/staff member of a food service
business operating in Oakland County that handles food or unsealed
food container(s) should wear hair coverings and shall minimize
bare-hand contact with ready-to-eat foods by the use of disposable
gloves, deli tissue, suitable utensils or dispensing equipment,
except when washing fruits and vegetables, or as otherwise
authorized by State law or rules.
5. A requirement that each food service business operating in
Oakland County incorporate verbal and visual (e.g. signs, printed
procedures, etc.) reminders to employees/staff members that
reinforces the importance of proper hand washing and emphasizes to
food handlers that disposable gloves or other sanitary alternatives
are not a replacement for proper hand washing. The use of
utensils, including deli tissues, spatulas, tongs, or single-use
gloves shall be preceded by thorough hand washing. 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.

Health Division=s Environmental Health Services to implement and conduct the

WHEREAS Oakland County is committed to insuring that all children are
afforded every opportunity for nurturing, optimal development and early learning

IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES/HEALTH DIVISION - CRIMP PROGRAM SAVINGS,
CANCER CONTROL PROGRAM - REORGANIZATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed
the above-referenced resolution and finds:
1) The Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Center (BACCSC) will be
discontinued effective October 1, 1999, due to the decrease in
demand and an increase in the number of private providers and
payers.
2) The Health Division intends to expand cancer education and
assurance, to include not only breast and cervical cancers, but will
also focus on skin, prostate, lung and colo-rectal cancers.
3) The Health Division=s objective is to utilize the CRIMP program to
recognize the recurring savings from discontinuing the Breast and
Cervical Cancer Screening Center, offset by the expansion of cancer
education and assurance.
4) The request includes the deletion of one (1) Office Leader (#02141),
one (1) Clinical Health Specialist (#04648), one (1) PH Program
Coordinator (#00426), one (1) Clerk III (#07319), and one (1) PH
Nurse III (#00201), along with a decrease of $(111,172) in operating
costs and $(50,500) in revenues.
5) This reduction is offset by $223,391, which includes the addition of
one (1) PH Educator III, one (1) Nursing Supervisor and one (1)
Epidemiologist and associated operating costs.
6) The total impact on the budget is a net savings of $138,675, which
is estimated to result in CRIMP earnings of $83,205 (60%) at the end
of the first year, $41,603 (30%) at the end of the second year, and
the $27,735 (20%) by the end of the third year.
7) The request for this Cancer Control Program reorganization is
already included in the Fiscal Year 2000 and Fiscal Year 2001
Executive Recommendation. However, the Health Division did not
include the savings as part of a CRIMP proposal and is requesting to
do so.
8) Sixty (60%) percent of the proposed savings will be recognized in
the Designated Fund Balance at the end of Fiscal Year 2000. This
percentage will be reappropriated to the Health Division=s budget
for Fiscal Year 2001, once the proposed savings for Fiscal Year 2000
are verified.
