NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, that the revised fee schedule for Environmental Health fees collected by the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment, as attached hereto, be, and hereby are approved, effective January 1, 2018. The above and foregoing Resolution was, on motion duly made and seconded, adopted by the following vote on the 27th day of November, A.D., 2017. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD CO,1)NTY, COLORADO ATTEST:, J ° IA Weld County Clerk to the Board BY: uty Clerk to the Board APPROV AS T unty A orney Date of signature: V'a / 71/ r7 01/ca/i$ ae'e, I Julie A. Cozad, Chair EXCUSED Steve Moreno, Pro -Tern Sean P. Conway ike Freeman c _ 2017-3969 HL0003 Memorandum TO: Julie A. Cozad, Chair Board of County Commissioners FROM: Mark E. Wallace, MD, MPH Executive Director Department of Public Health & Environment DATE: November 20, 2017 SUBJECT: Proposed 2018 Fee Schedule Increases For the Board's review and approval are the Health Department's proposed Environmental Health Services ("EHS") and Public Health Clinical Services ("PHCS") fees schedules for 2018. Both a strike -through version and the final versions of each are attached to aid in the Board's review. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES: A detailed review of the EHS fee schedule was made to ensure that costs are adequately recovered across all sections of the EHS division. Twelve lab test fees were increased in order to align with providers of similar services. New lab fees were added for the testing of HPV, HPV Genotyping, Chlorite and after-hours STAT individual test results. Retail Food Establishment license fees were updated again this past September to allow for the second phase of the statutory fee increase. A late fee was added to the temporary event license coordinator and vendor fee schedule to allow for the accommodation that must be made by staff when applications are submitted after the due dates (the temporary event fees are now controlled locally). A plan review application fee (non-refundable) was added to the Child Care Center Fees since at times plans are submitted and reviewed but the project doesn't come to fruition, leaving staff expenditure of time unreimbursed. Other Consumer Protection programs already have an application fee in their fee schedules. Radon test and mailed radon test fees were increased by $1.00 each but this is a service that is typically covered by a grant. The fees would apply only if the grant became unavailable. No changes were made to the EHS Household Hazardous Waste fee schedule. PUBLIC HEALTH CLINICAL SERVICES: A detailed review of the PHCS fee schedule was made to ensure that costs are adequately recovered across all clinic programs of the PHCS division. All fees were reviewed to establish that the Health Department is charging at least the Medicare reimbursement rate for all services provided at the Health Department. For services that are not covered by Medicare, the Medicaid reimbursement rate was used as a reimbursement floor. Consistent with prior year fee schedule adjustments, following that comparison and after making increases where appropriate, we increased our fees for all services and supplies by 3% across- the-board. Again, this fee increase request is a modest increase compared to the medical rate of inflation which is anticipated to be remain consistent at approximately 6.5% in 2018. Several services were added to the fee schedule to provide more comprehensive care for our clinic patients. These proposed fee schedules were approved for placement on the Board's agenda via pass - around dated November 20, 2017. I recommend approval of the 2018 PHCS and EHS fee schedule increases. ►t/a-7 2017-3969 p -t L-OO© -t QI WELD COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SERVICES - 2018 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 -opening Body Art Facility - Real Estate Site Review Body Art Facility - Temporary License Body Art Facility - Mobile Facility License Autoclave Sterilization Spore Test (Steam) CHILD CARE CENTER FEES Child Care Center - Facility Inspection Fee 5-20 Children Child Care Center - Facility Inspection Fee 21-50 Children Child Care Center - Facility Inspection Fee 51-100 Children Child Care Center - Facility Inspection Fee 101+ Children Group Home - Facility Inspection Fee Residential Treatment Facility - Facility Inspection Fee Child Care Center - Plan Review/Walk-thru/Pre-opening Inspection Fee Child Care Center - Plan Review Application Fee FOOD PROTECTION SERVICES $350.00 $75.00 Application fee of $100 plus $50/hr $50.00/hr $350.00 $350.00 $12.00 No Fee License (k-12 schools, non -profits as defined in CRS 25-4-1607(9)(a)(III)) Limited Food Service (convenience, other) Restaurant (0-100 seats) Restaurant (101-200 seats) Restaurant (>200 seats) Grocery Store (0-15,000 sq. ft.)
