LICENSES REGULATIONS AS CODIFIED IN DIVISION 1 OF TITLE 8 OF THE

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ORDAINS
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findings and Purpose.
A. On October 19, 2010, the Los Angeles County Board of
Supervisors adopted County Ordinance No. 2010-0045, which enhances Los Angeles
County's current public health requirements for the inspection grading and posting of
letter grades to include mobile food facilities.
B. The County's development of a grading program for mobile food
facilities, as with restaurants and food markets, is intended to minimize the risk of
foodborne illness by identifying high risk violations and bringing these conditions to the
attention of the facility owners and operators and the public. The use of letter grades or
numerical percentage scores will provide the public with an easily recognizable method
of making informed choices based on the food safety practices found on the mobile
facility at the time of inspection. Additionally, the grading program will benefit the public
by providing a means to easily differentiate between illegal and legal food vendors.
C. County Ordinance No. 2010-0045 became effective on November
18, 2010. The County has asked the City to adopt an implementing ordinance in
Rancho Palos Verdes.
D. The City desires to ensure County enforcement of the grading
program for mobile food facilities within the City through the adoption of a conforming
City ordinance.
Section 2. Paragraph A of Section 8.32.010 ("Adoption of Los Angeles County
public health licenses regulations.") of Chapter 8.32 ("Adoption of Los Angeles County
Public Health Licenses Regulations") of Title 8 ("Health and Safety") of the Rancho
Palos Verdes Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
"A. Except as hereinafter provided, Division 1, entitled "Public Health
Licenses", of Title 8, of the Los Angeles County Code, as amended
and in effect on November 18, 2010, is adopted by reference as the
public health licenses regulations of the city of Rancho Palos
Verdes and may be cited as such."
