Agenda Item Number <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br /> AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY <br /> Meeting Date: February 26, 2020 <br /> Agenda Item Subject: FY 2020-21 Fee Schedule <br /> Attachment(s): Fee Schedule & Requested Changes <br /> Staff/Board Member Reporting: Quintana Stewart, Health Director <br /> Purpose/Recommended Action: Action/Approve <br /> x Action/Approve & forward to Board of Commissioners <br /> Information with possible action <br /> Accept as information <br /> Revise & schedule for future action <br /> Summary Information: <br /> In reviewing Health Department fee schedules, which are done on an annual basis, the <br /> Department would like to make multiple fee changes in Environmental Health and Personal <br /> Health. The proposed changes are summarized below with a detailed list of the fees in the <br /> attached fee schedule: <br /> Environmental Health <br /> Environmental Health requests to adjust multiple sample testing fees, Tattoo Artist, and <br /> Pool/Spa permitting fees and add two well permit fees and a Mobile Food Unit fee. The <br /> sampling fees will be adjusted in order to remain competitive with both private sector sampling <br /> services and surrounding jurisdictions and the fee for a Radon Air Sample kit will be deleted as <br /> these are no longer provided. These adjustments should have little to no impact on the total <br /> fee revenue. A fee increase for the Tattoo Artist Annual Permit will offset the cost for annual <br /> training offered to tattoo. The proposed new fees for Well Repair Permits with Water Sample <br /> (with and without Liner) will ensure that well water is tested for contamination after well repairs <br /> (currently there is no requirement for homeowners to test the water after a repair, which can <br /> impact basic potability). The proposed new fee for Mobile Food Units (MFU) removes MFUs <br /> from an umbrella fee category (Shared Kitchen, MFU, PC, LFSE Plan Review and Permit) due <br /> to the time and complexity required to inspect and permit a MFU, which is similar to the time <br /> and complexity required for a brick and mortar establishment. <br /> The total financial impact from Environmental Health fee changes is projected to be: $14,675. <br />
