The chart below <br />outlines the new fees approved by the Board of Health: <br />Descri tion Current Fee Pro osed Fee Last Revision <br /> $350 + $75 per 600 Fee increases by 50% <br />Non-Domestic GPD or fraction of over the total permit <br />Wastewater additional WW fee of a comparably 2001 <br />Improvement Permit flow>600 GPD sized domestic~WW <br /> s stem <br />Existing System <br />Authorizations (Office No Charge $20.00 New Fee <br />authorizations/no field <br />tri re uired ~'~ <br />Septic Tank <br />Manufacturer Yard No Charge $100.00 New Fee <br />Ins ections c2~ <br /> $200.00 one-time fee <br />Septic Tank Contractor <br />c3~ <br />No Charge for new septic <br />New Fee <br />Registration Fee contractors; $25.00 <br /> for annual renewal <br />~'~ New Fee - $20 per office authorization (no field trip required) <br />c2~ New Fee - $100 per trip for up to four hours onsite of inspecting tanks for pre-approval <br />(limit of one trip per month) <br />c3~ New Fee - $200 one-time fee for. new septic contractors; $25 annual fee renewal for <br />existing contractors. <br />As indicated earlier, the current year budget anticipated revenues generated by these fees; <br />therefore, there is no budgetary impact for fiscal year 2006-07. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the background information above. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners <br />approve the attached budget ordinance amendments. <br />
