During the budget planning process this past spring, the Board of Health approved new fees <br />for the Environmental Health division. The revenue generated by these fees was included in <br />revenue projections for fiscal year 2006 -07; however, the 2006 -07 County Fee Schedule <br />approved by the Board inadvertently did not include those new fees. The chart below <br />outlines the new fees approved by the Board of Health: <br />Description <br />Current Fee <br />Proposed Fee <br />Last Revision <br />$350 + $75 per 600 <br />Fee increases by 50% <br />Non - Domestic <br />GPD or fraction of <br />over the total permit <br />Wastewater <br />additional WW <br />fee of a comparably <br />2001 <br />Improvement Permit <br />flow>600 GPD <br />sized domestic'WW <br />system <br />Existing System <br />Authorizations (Office <br />No Charge <br />$20.00 <br />New Fee <br />authorizations /no field <br />trip required) <br />Septic Tank <br />Manufacturer Yard <br />No Charge <br />$100.00 <br />New Fee <br />Inspections (2) <br />$200.00 one -time fee <br />Septic Tank Contractor <br />No Charge <br />for new septic <br />New Fee <br />Registration Fee <br />contractors; $25.00 <br />for annual renewal <br />�') New Fee - $20 per office authorization (no field trip required) <br />(2) 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 />
