ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS 1 � ,, Action Agenda Item No. V- D ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: April 2, 1990 SUBJECT: Health Department Fee Schedule for Community Screening Service DEPARTMENT: HEALTH PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: HEALTH DIRECTOR'S OFFICE X 311 Proposed fee schedule and background information. TELEPHONE NUMBER: Hillsborough - 732-8181 Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: To establish fees to be charged to company's and organizations requesting health department community screening services through the health promotion and adult health programs. BACKGROUND: The health promotion and the adult health programs of the Orange County Health Department are called upon to provide screening and educational services in the community similar to the services offered to county employees through our health promotion program, "Health Yourself". Such screening programs have already occurred in both school systems, several churches, one private company and a number of health fairs. In each case, the sponsoring organization agreed to cover the costs that were not planned in the health department budget. Because the supply and other expendable materials necessary for these screenings have not been budgeted, the attached service fees have been established to cover the cost. Fee structures from other departments are attached to demonstrate that these fees are compatible with other, similar programs. These fees were approved by the Orange County Board of Health at its' regular meeting on September 28, 1989. The feasibility of providing this service to non-profit agencies without a fee was considered. However, the service is not mandated and funds have not been budgeted for this purpose. Therefore the fees must be universally applied. RECOMMENDATION(S) : Approve the proposed fees.
