A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, URGING THE FLORIDA
LEGISLATURE TO ESTABLISH A RESTAURANT GRADING
SYSTEM TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY THE DIVISION OF HOTELS
AND RESTAURANTS OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION OR, IN THE
ALTERNATIVE, TO AUTHORIZE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
ESTABLISH AND IMPLEMENT RESTAURANT GRADING
SYSTEMS WITHIN THEIR JURISDICTIONS.
WHEREAS, research has shown that most bacterial, viral and contaminant-
based foodborne illnesses occur because of poor hygiene, improper storage and
handling, and the inadequate cooling and heating of food; and
WHEREAS, grading systems to notify customers of the cleanliness of
restaurants have been implemented in the various jurisdictions around the nation and,
notably, within the City of New York; and
WHEREAS, under New York City law, restaurants are rated with an A, B, or C,
and are required to follow food safety rules that require workers to, among other things,
wash hands before touching food, keep foods at their proper temperature to prevent the
growth of dangerous bacteria, avoid cross-contamination of foods, prevent rodent and
pest infestations by maintaining clean spaces and using proper extermination methods,
and have a supervisor trained in food protection present at all times to oversee
operations; and
WHEREAS, research in New York City, and elsewhere, has shown that
restaurants with poorer inspection results are more likely to be associated with
outbreaks of illness; and
WHEREAS, prior to the implementation of the grading system in New York City,
restaurants were motivated to practice food safety by their own desire to maintain
healthful conditions and by the threat of fines and violations; however, and the
introduction of the grading system provides the additional incentive of recognition with
an A grade for excellent food safety practices; and
WHEREAS, more significantly, a study of the restaurant grading system in New
York City after 18 months of implementation revealed that grading has led to significant
improvements in restaurant sanitary practices because fewer restaurants have
violations associated with foodborne illnesses, and more restaurants earn A grades on
initial inspections, require less frequent inspections, and avoid fines; and
WHEREAS, a restaurant grading system should be implemented in the State of
Florida by the Division of Hotels and Restaurants of the Florida Department of Business
and Professional Regulation or, in the alternative, the Florida Legislature should
authorize local governments to establish and implement restaurant grading systems
within their jurisdictions, to further protect the health, safety, and welfare of the dining
public and to enhance Florida's status as a premier tourist destination.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby urge the Florida Legislature to establish a restaurant grading
system in the State of Florida to be implemented by the Division of Hotels and
Restaurants of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation or, in
the alternative, to authorize local governments to establish and implement restaurant
grading systems within their jurisdictions.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 11 day of December, 2016.
