Discussion and Decision on the FY2019-20 County Fee Schedule <br /> Commissioner Dorosin referred to the Solid Waste fee— page 495 — and asked if the <br /> programs fee is going up form $132 to $142 to make it a self-sustaining enterprise fee. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said not exactly. She said it is on the step to removing a structural <br /> deficit. She said even if she had recommended funds from the general fund, this would have <br /> been the same fee. She said she hopes expenditures can be controlled going forward so that a <br /> contribution from the general fund will not be needed. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the value of the $10 increase could be identified. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said there are 64,000 parcels, which will yield $900,000. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the Board does not approve this fee, would it have to <br /> increase property tax. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said yes. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if the other listed fees could be clarified. <br /> Kurt Vaughn, Budget Analyst, said these fees were already scheduled for the schools, <br /> and, as a part of making them an enterprise fund, they wanted to expand the applicability of <br /> these fees to cover County properties as well as commercial opportunities. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said one of the concerns was that they do a lot of work for County <br /> properties, and the solid waste fund has never been paid for this service, because the general <br /> fund was paying for part of solid waste. She said now that there is no general fund, Solid Waste <br /> can charge for service to the County buildings. She said it is not a large amount of money. <br /> Commissioner Price referred to page 447, and asked if there is a reason why the special <br /> event/vending fee is being raised by $10 per booth, as well as the picnic shelters and farmer's <br /> market pavilion. She said residents use these facilities for family events, and these increases <br /> will be significant for some people. <br /> David Stancil said every couple of years staff does market studies, and the County is <br /> well below other markets for these fees. He said there are also costs that occur for <br /> maintenance, etc. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if the increases could be done in $5 increments. <br /> David Stancil said it is at the pleasure of the Board's. <br />
