costs associated with the review of projects or activities,provision of services; and,
WHEREAS, requests are submitted to the Board of County Commissioners for waiver of fees by
individuals and organizations,and;

stated policy when and under what circumstances said waiver would occur.

to a gift as the costs associated with providing services are shifted entirely to the public for the benefit
of the applicant.
3) Fees set by County Ordinance do not differentiate between worthy causes or worthy organizations and
are to be applied equally to private individuals and public agencies.
4) The waiving of fees creates a budget impact for the department not receiving the fees.

Policy for Consideration of Administration Fee Waiver Requests
ATTACHMENT "A" RESOLUTION NO. 74-95
POLICY FOR CONSIDERATION OF
FEE WAIVER REQUESTS
POLICY STATEMENT
The waiving of fees for individuals or organizations may be seen as: 1)being a gift
of public funds, 2) being a discriminatory act, and 3)having an impact on
individual County department/funds budgets. Jefferson County has determined that
there may be circumstances, however, where the public interest and public benefit
in a project or activity is such that the public should participate by the waiving of
fees associated with such a project or activity.
REQUEST AND DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
All requests for waiver of fees shall be made in writing to the department
administering the fee to be waived.
The Department will forward the request to the Board of County Commissioners
with their recommendation for approval or denial.
APPROVAL CRITERIA:
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners shall review all requests to waive
the fees associated with any individual project or activity. Requests may only be
approved when the following criteria can be met:
1) There is substantial public interest and benefit in the project or activity to the
degree said project or activity could be a County project or activity, but is
not because an alternative method for the project/activity was found.
2) Any and all similar requests will receive the same approval regardless of the
person or organization requesting the waiver.
3) A corresponding amount from a Fund, to be designated by the Board of
Commissioners at the time of the approval, will be transferred to the
Department where the fee is waived.
