NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that the revised fee schedule for the Environmental Health fees collected by the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, be, and hereby is, approved, effective immediately. The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made and seconded, adopted by the following vote on the 12th day of August, A.D., 2013. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COUNTY, COLORADO Weld County Clerk to the Board BY: Deputy Cler APP unty he Boa y Date of signatureAUG 2 0 2013 EXCUSED William F. Garcia, Chair Douglas ademach-r, Pro-Tem r } can P. Conway ke Freeman Barbara Kirkmey cc. 4,2 g/a/i3 r 2013-2261 HL0003 TO: Memorandum William F. Garcia, Chair Board of County Commissioners FROM: Mark E. Wallace, MD, MPH, Director Department of Public Health and Environment DATE: August 8, 2013 SUBJECT: 2013 Mid -Year Fee Increase Request The Department of Public Health and Environment is requesting authorization for mid -year fee schedule revisions in the Public Health Services and Environmental Health Services divisions. Attached for Board review and approval are the full fee schedules of both divisions reflecting the proposed adjustments. The requested changes are justified below. PHS Fee Schedule Revision Justification On July 1, 2013, Medicaid revised their reimbursement schedules. With the Board's approval, the Health Department would like to bring its fee schedule into alignment with what Medicaid is willing to reimburse for certain medical services that are currently provided by the Health Department. In doing so several services will be reimbursed at a higher rate, resulting in greater revenue for Weld County, thus reducing the local taxpayers' costs in providing these essential services in the community. EHS Fee Schedule Revision Justification Body Art Fee: The implementation of a new body art fee is proposed to allow the Department to collect fees prior to doing work. In the past, we have conducted work for which we received no compensation because the facility operator decided not to open the establishment. The fee is consistent with other programs such as the food program. Ambulance Fees: The ambulance fees are being adjusted to reflect time spent conducting activities related to the service. The Ambulance "service" fee is being reduced because little staff time is spent in processing these applications. The Ambulance "unit" fee is being increased because a significant amount of time is spent reviewing, inspecting, and processing these permits. We are currently recovering approximately 12% of our costs. The adjusted fees will allow for collection of approximately 35% of our costs. The fees have not been adjusted since at least 1997. In April of this year an informal survey was conducted to determine what other counties are charging for similar services. Attached is a summary of those results. I recommend approval of the mid -year fee increases. 2013-2261 EHS 2013 Fees Pagel WELD COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES 2013 FEE SCHEDULE BODY ART FACILITY SERVICES Body Art Facility License Body Art Facility - Delinquent License Surcharge Body Art Facility - Plan Review Application Fees and Pre -open Body Art Facility - Real Estate Site Review Body Art Facility - Temporary License Body Art Facility - Mobile Facility License Autoclave Sterilization Spore Test CHILD CARE CENTER FEES Child Care Center - Child Care Center - Child Care Center - Child Care Center - Child Care Center - Child Care Center - Child Care Center - $212.50 $75.00 Application fee of $100 plus $50/hr $50.00/hr $150.00 $212.50 Facility Inspection Fee 5-20 Children Facility Inspection Fee 21-50 Children Facility Inspection Fee 51-100 Children Facility Inspection Fee 101+ Children Plan Review/Walk-thru/Pre-opening Inspection Fee Health & Sanitation Course - For -Profit Establistments Health & Sanitation Course - Non -Profit Establistments FOOD PROTECTION SERVICES No fee License (School, Charitable Organization, Penal Institution, Church, Other) Mobile Unit Mobile Unit (Pre-packaged) Temporary/Special Event Establishment Temporary/Special Events (Pre-packaged) Restaurant 0-100 Seats Restaurant 101-200 Seats Restaurant Over 200 Seats Grocery Store 0-3,500 Sq Ft Grocery Store 3,501-15,000 Sq Ft Grocery Store 15,001-25,000 Sq Ft Grocery Store 25,001-45,000 Sq Ft Grocery Store 45,001-65,000 Sq Ft Grocery Store 65,001-85,000 Sq Ft Grocery Store Over 85,000 Sq Ft Grocery w/Deli 0-3,500 Sq Ft Grocery w/Deli 3,501-15,000 Sq Ft Grocery w/Deli 15,001-25,000 Sq Ft Grocery w/Deli 25,001-45,000 Sq Ft Grocery w/Deli 45,001-65,000 Sq Ft Grocery w/Deli 65,001- 85,000 Sq Ft $10.00 $25.00 $50.00 $75.00 $100.00 $50.00/hr $20.00/pp $10.00/pp $0.00 $255.00 $115.00 $255.00 $115.00 $255.00 $285.00 $310.00 $115.00 $180.00 $200.00 $235.00 $290.00 $415.00 $500.00 $207.00 $338.00 $360.00 $395.00 $450.00 $575.00 EHS 2013 Fees Page2 Grocery w/Deli Over 85,000 Sq Ft Plan Review Application Fees and Preopening Equipment Review Fee HACCP Plan (Written) (Not to exceed) HACCP Plan (On -site Eval.)(Not to exceed) Real Estate Review of Property ($75 or Actual Cost Based Upon Hourly Rate) Miscellaneous Services Weld Star Education Weld Star Education Weld Star Education Weld Star Education Weld Star Education Weld Star Education Weld Star Education $690.00 Application fee of $100 plus $50 per hour (not to exceed $580) Application fee of $100 plus $50 per hour (not to exceed $500) $100.00 $400.00 $75.00 Course - For-profit Establishments Course - Non-profit Establishments Course (for managers) - For-profit Establishments Course (for managers) - Non-profit Establishments Course - Off -site Presentation Fee (charged for groups of <25) Course (groups >25) - For-profit Establishments Course (groups >25) - Non-profit Establishments INSTITUTION SERVICES Board and Care Home License (1 - 2 Persons) Ambulance Inspection License Ambulance Unit Inspection Fee MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES Environmental Health Specialist Field Time Charge Biosolids Permit (160 Acre Parcel) Septage Permit (160 Acre Parcel) Cistern Usage Permit (Initial) Cistern - Variance Request Radon Kits Radon Kits (mailed) Elevated Blood Level - Requested Inspection Fax Fee (up to 10 pages, $.50 per each additional page) File Observation Fee Copy Fee (per Weld County Code) POOL SERVICES Swimming Pool License Swim Pool Chemistry Inspection Swim Pool Physical Inspection Swim Pool Bacteriological Analysis Complaint Response and Investigation Swimming Pool Plan Review (up to 1 1/2 hours) $50.00/hr $20.00/pp $10.00/pp $50.00/pp $50.00/pp $50.00 $500.00 $250.00 $50.00 $50.00/company $ 100.00/ambulance $50.00/hr $375.00 ($2.34 for each acre over 160 Acres) $375.00 ($2.34 for each acre over 160 Acres) $250.00 $50.00 $5.00 $7.00 $200 for first 4 hrs ($50/hr thereafter) $2.00 $15.00/hr $.25/page $200.00 $48.00 $78.00 $63.50/hr $50.00/hr $75.00 Swimming Pool Plan Review (each additional hour) SEPTIC INSPECTION SERVICES Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit Individual Sewage Disposal Repair/Alteration Permit Individual Sewage Disposal System Permit Extension Commercial Septic System New Permit Commercial Septic System Repair Permit Septic System Minor Repair Permit Septic System Reinspection Fee Holding Tank/Vault Permit Weld County I.S.D.S.
