2 <br /> ♦ Board of Health will hear any appeals of residents who are not satisfied with the <br /> recommendations made by staff <br /> The Purchasing and Central Services Department will secure and manage the contracts with <br /> certified well contractors for actual repairs or replacement once Environmental Health has <br /> authorized the repairs or replacement. This avoids a potential conflict of interest since <br /> Environmental Health regulates well construction. <br /> The Animal Control and Environmental Health Committee of the Board of Health and the full <br /> Board reviewed the draft policy at their regular meetings in January and offered some changes <br /> that have been included. The Board of Health passed a motion to forward the No Fault Well <br /> Repair Fund Policy to the Commissioners for consideration. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Costs incurred by the Health Department will be charged to the fund on <br /> the same basis as though this had been an individual homeowner request. For example, a Well <br /> Construction Permit Fee will be charged to the fund for replacement wells and lab costs <br /> incurred for testing well water will also be charged to the fund. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report, <br /> consider possible approval of the No Fault Well Repair Fund Policy, and authorize the'Health <br /> Department to proceed with implementation, subject to County Attorney review. <br />
