Note: 20Z1 Fees have been adjusted per ordinance 12-1209-96, Section 4 - Annual Fee Indexing: Fixed amount fees established by this ordinance shall be adjusted annually on the first business day of January (Adjusted Date) by the amount of the
increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPIW). The CPIW is the Consumer Price Index - US City Average for All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the United States Department of Labor.
The annual fee adjustment shall be calculated as follows: each fee in effect immediately prior to the Adjustment Date will be increased by the percentage increase in the CPIW as reported for the month of September preceding the Adjustment Date.
Increases will be founded to the nearest dollar. A fee shall not be reduced by reason of such calculation. However, fee increases in accordance with this calculation shall not exceed 5 percent per year.

IN THE MATTER OF A POLICY
FOR CONSIDERATION OF
FEE WAIVER REQUESTS
ASSOCIATED WITH
COUNTY ORDINANCES
RESOLUTION NO. 74-95
WHEREAS, Federal, State and local laws require public agencies to treat all parties equally, so there is
no potential for discrimination; and,
WHEREAS, Jefferson County Ordinances establish fees to, in part, compensate the general public for
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;
WHEREAS, the following findings are made with regard to the matter of requests for the waiver of fees:
l) The waiver of fees for one party and not another can be viewed as discriminatory, unless there is a
stated policy when and under what circumstances said waiver would occur.
2) The Washington State Constitution prohibits the gift of public funds and the waiving of fees can amount
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.
NOW, 71-11 R1 T'0RE, BL IT RESOLVED, that there may be circumstances where the requested waiver
of fees may be in the public interest and of public benefit for a project or activity and the public should participate by
the waiving of the fee(s).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, to assure that all parties requesting a waiver of fees are treated equally
and to determine if the requested waiver of fees is in the public interest and of public benefit, the following policy
(Attachment A to this Resolution) is hereby adopted.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
Attachment A -- Resolution No. 74-95
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 fimds, 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 projectlactivity 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.
