Discussion of the Proposed Action of the A Rating System:
Mr. Jones asked for thoughts and comments from the committee regarding the A Rating
System.
Mr. Denson commented that he liked it;however,he would like to see an"Act of God"
clause added.

restaurant owner and/or manager feel a rating to be unjust. In such a case a senior
inspector would re-inspect.

opportunity.
