Town proposes new policy to reward top-rated restaurants

In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the implementation of a new initiative involving the distribution of Uber gift cards to local restaurants. The proposal, initially introduced to support businesses, has shown promising results, prompting officials to consider a policy that ensures only restaurants with a health rating of 95% or higher receive these cards. This measure aims to promote excellence within the community and avoid rewarding underperforming establishments.

The discussion highlighted the importance of establishing a value exchange in municipal contracts and services, suggesting that any giveaways or grants should benefit the town in return. Officials emphasized the need for a structured approach to future initiatives, with plans to include a specific agenda item regarding contract services in the next meeting.

The conversation also touched on the significance of maintaining high standards in local dining establishments, with one official noting the desire for the town to be recognized for its commitment to quality. The meeting concluded with a transition to the next topic, which focused on business occupancy in Hollywood Park, indicating ongoing efforts to engage with and support local businesses.
