SUBMITTED BY: David Pomaville, Director, Department of Public Health
SUBJECT: Amendment to Master Schedule of Fees, Charges, and Recovered Costs
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Conduct second hearing and adopt Ordinance to amend the Fresno County Master Schedule of Fees, Charges, and Recovered Costs Section 2100 - Public Health, subsections 2101, 2103 through 2107, 2109 through 2112, and adding subsections 2114 through 2115; and waive reading of the Ordinance in its entirety; and
2. Conduct second hearing and adopt Ordinance to amend the Fresno County Master Schedule of Fees, Charges, and Recovered Costs Section 900 - Environmental Health, sections 902 through 906, 908 through 916, 917, 919 through 934.1, 937 through 940.1, 948, 950, and adding subsections 902.1, 916.1, 939.2, 939.3, and 940.2; and waive reading of Ordinance in its entirety.

To allow for the eventual 90% cost recovery in Section 900, similar increases will be required in FYs 2019-20 and 2020-21, thereby reducing the use of 1991 Health Realignment (Realignment) to offset permit fee-based program costs. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
