15 <br /> Orange County Solid Waste Management Department and Draper Aden Associates, Inc. (DAA) <br /> of Coats, North Carolina for consulting services for a five (5) year period and authorized the <br /> County Manager to sign. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> h. Health Department Fee Schedule Changes <br /> The Board considered adopting and revising multiple Dental Health and Environmental <br /> Health fees approved by the Board of Health at its January 25, 2017 meeting. <br /> Commissioner Price referred to the fee increase, and asked if the patient will pay more. <br /> Colleen Bridger said patients are charged on a sliding fee scale, and those who slide <br /> above the minimum payment will pay a higher fee based on the percent of that fee. She said <br /> this is one reason why the health department did not use the customary charges that are seen <br /> in the area. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if a fee was charged previously. <br /> Colleen Bridger said these are new services. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if there will be a PSA about well water, due to the increase. <br /> Colleen Bridger said there can be an announcement. She said this fee was added as <br /> NPR ran a story about naturally occurring hexavalent chromium, and a handful of residents <br /> asked for their well water to be tested. <br /> Commissioner Price said she has no problem with the fee, but wants to know if the <br /> public at large are being made aware that it is possible for the well water to be tested. <br /> Colleen Bridger said such an announcement can absolutely be made. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs to <br /> adopt and revise multiple Dental Health and Environmental Health fees approved by the Board <br /> of Health at its January 25, 2017 meeting. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> a.
