An Ordinance Relating to County Fee Policy
and Requirements and Department of Public
Works Parks and Recreation Division Fee ORDINANCE NO. _____________
Schedules; Amending Title 3 JCC, Title 12
JCC, and Appendix Fee Schedules; Repealing
and Replacing Ordinance No. 05-0707-14 and
Ordinance 12-1209-96
WHEREAS, the existing method of adopting and amending fee schedules that appear in
the code under Appendix Fee Schedules lacks transparency and is a cumbersome process for
county departments with few resources; and,
WHEREAS, Appendix Fee Schedules contains many out-of-date fee schedules as a result;
and,
WHEREAS, the present Appendix Fee Schedules is difficult to locate and some county
codes that require fees for services or as a part of an application do not mention fee schedules; and,
WHEREAS, many other county jurisdictions amend fee schedules by resolution to allow
ease of adoption; and,
WHEREAS, adoption and amendment of fee schedules by resolution will allow the county
to more quickly and efficiently amend fee schedules; and,
WHEREAS, county departments should be required to post fees on their websites, make
fee schedules widely available to the public, and place fee policy in the code for greater
transparency and ease of reference for the public; and,
WHEREAS, the Jefferson County Department of Public Works, Parks and Recreation
Division (“Parks”) collects reasonable fees to offset the costs of operation and maintenance of
county parks pursuant to chapter 12.25 JCC and Appendix Fee Schedules; and
WHEREAS, the costs for operation and maintenance of county parks has escalated
dramatically since 2014, when the fee schedule was last amended, and it is necessary to update the
fee schedule accordingly; and
WHEREAS, in some cases, the 2014 fees did not correspond to actual use patterns which
needlessly depressed facility use; and
WHEREAS, Parks has studied the existing fee schedule, and compared the proposed fees
with the fees of similar agencies, and
1
WHEREAS, Parks discussed the fee proposal with school officials, park users, and youth
sports organizations; and
WHEREAS, The Jefferson County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board partnered with
staff to develop the fee schedule, reviewed the fee proposal on February 2, 2023 and unanimously
recommended the fee proposal for adoption by the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners
(BoCC) on April 6, 2023; and
WHEREAS, on May 22, 2023, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners (“BoCC”)
held a public hearing soliciting input and feedback on the proposed fee and fee schedule changes.
NOW THEREFORE, be it hereby ordained by the BoCC as follows:
Section 1. Findings. The BoCC hereby adopts the recitals (the “WHEREAS” statements) as its
findings of fact in support of this Ordinance.
Section 2. Amendments adopted in Appendix A. The BoCC adopts Appendix A adding a new
chapter 3.80 of the Jefferson County Code (“JCC”) relating to general county department fee
requirements and policies. This chapter places policy that appeared within the Appendix Fee
Schedule into a new chapter 3.80 JCC. It also adds a Large Projects section. It further authorizes
all county department and offices to request amendment of fee schedules by resolution.
Section 3. Amendments adopted in Appendix B. The BoCC adopts Appendix B, which amends
Appendix Fee Schedules to repeal the general requirements at the beginning (Fees for New
Programs, Events, or Services; Annual Fee Indexing; and Periodic Fee Review) which will by this
ordinance be placed in chapter 3.80 JCC. Appendix B also repeals Section V of Appendix Fee
Schedules, including V-010 and V-020, relating to Department of Public Works-Facilities, Parks
and Recreation Division. A new fee schedule will be adopted by resolution as permitted by the
JCC 3.80.020 (adopted as a part of this ordinance). It is the desire of the BoCC that the entire
Appendix Fee Schedules be eliminated and be replaced by chapter 3.80 JCC and fee authorization
and policy in implementing codes as necessary, and that all departments with fee schedules
adopted in Appendix Fee Schedules bring similar revisions to the BoCC in the coming year.

3.80.040 Periodic fee review.
3.80.050 Coordination of fee charges among departments.
3.80.060 Large project review.
3.80.010 Purpose and applicability.
The purpose of this chapter is to mandate certain requirements of all county departments when
charging fees to the public. Fees for programs and services provided by county departments are
subject to the requirements of this chapter.
3.80.020 Fees for programs and services.
(1) Any new fee schedule proposed by a county department or office shall be adopted by
resolution of the board of county commissioners, starting on the effective date of this ordinance.
Any fee schedule adopted pursuant to this section is hereby adopted by reference and incorporated
into this section. Other fees and policies adopted in the Appendix Fee Schedule remain in effect.
(2) Updates to fee schedules adopted pursuant to JCC 3.80.020(1) occur on an annual basis
concurrent with budget adoption by the board of county commissioners.
(3) County departments shall make all reasonable efforts to make fee schedules easily and widely
available to the public, including the following:
(a) The current fee schedule(s) shall be posted on the county website;
(b) Hard copies of the current fee schedule(s) shall be available at the physical public interface
of the county department. The department may also post its fee schedule on a wall that will
be seen by the public;
(c) Department employees shall promptly provide by mail or email copies of the fee
schedule(s) upon request to any member of the public;
(d) A copy of current fee schedules for all county departments will be on file at the county
commissioners’ office: and,
(e) The department shall provide copies of the current fee schedule to any interest group
associated with the activities of the department upon request.
3.80.030 Annual fee indexing.
(1) Fixed amount fees established pursuant to this chapter shall be adjusted annually on the first
business day of January (“adjustment date”) by the amount of the increase in the Consumer Price
Index (CPIW). The CPIW is the Consumer Price Index – U.S. City Average for All Urban Wage
7
Draft of: 4/21/2023
Earners and Clerical Workers, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the United States
Department of Labor.
(2) 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 rounded 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 five percent per year.
(3) Copies of the adjusted fee schedule shall be available as required by JCC 3.80.020. The
adjusted fee schedule will show the prior year fees, the CPIW, and the new fee. 3.80.040 Periodic
fee review.
(1) At minimum, once every three years, but no more frequently than once per year, each county
department or office charging fees established under this chapter will evaluate the fee schedule for
consistency with applicable laws, regulations and fee policies adopted by the board of
commissioners.
(2) Each department’s periodic fee review will consider at least the following factors:
(a) service cost recovery;
(b) public versus private service benefit;
(c) relation of fees to department goals;
(d) other available funding sources; and,
(e) comparison fees in adjacent counties, statewide averages and other comparable areas.
(3) In conducting the periodic fee review, the department shall also consider the following
principles in structuring fees:
(a) Efficiency. The fees are easy to understand and are not cumbersome to administer;
(b) Transparency. The department can demonstrate to members of the public a
documented process for identifying the costs of activities and a clear formula for
the setting of fees;
(c) Effectiveness. The fees provide value to the person charged;
(d) Clarity. Users are clear about when and how fees apply;
(e) Equity. The fees are fairly applied across a range of users that have different
socioeconomic circumstances; and,
(f) Consideration of service needs. Users with special service needs (for example, due
to temporary or permanent disability) are not charged exorbitant fees directly in
accord with the cost of higher servicing requirements.
8
Draft of: 4/21/2023
3.80.050 Coordination of fee charges among departments.
When coordination in fee collection among county departments is necessary for projects requiring
review from more than one county department, the department with the lead for review of the
project shall be responsible for collecting billing information for the project, invoicing charges and
collecting invoices.
3.80.060 Large project review.
(1) Large project—how determined. A large project is a project determined by the department
with the lead for review to be a large project (“lead director”). The lead director may designate a
project as a large project, after considering the following:
(a) The complexity of the project;
(b) Whether the project involves multiple departments or agencies; and,
(c) Whether the project requires contracts with third-party reviewing agencies or
contractors.
(2) Retainer- authority to require and how calculated. The lead director may require a retainer
from an applicant for a project designated as a large project, consistent with the requirements of
this section. The lead director is granted authority to require a retainer if he or she determines a
retainer is necessary to ensure adequate compensation of the department for reasonable costs
associated with processing the application or completing project review without disruption.
(a) Amount of retainer.
(i) The lead director shall calculate the amount of the retainer based on review
of the application and an assessment of the time necessary to complete staff
review and a decision on the application, as well as any necessary third-
party review.
(ii) The lead director may specify terms and conditions upon which services
and materials are made available.
(iii) The fees charged in the retainer shall be consistent with the reasonable
estimated costs to the county for furnishing such services or materials, as
may be established in the applicable fee schedule.
(b) Replenishment of retainer. The lead director may, from time to time, require
replenishment of a retainer as necessary to ensure continued timely processing of
the application.
(c) Interest shall not be paid on moneys held on deposit or retainer.
(d) Moneys remaining on deposit or retainer upon completion or cancellation of the
service shall be refunded to the applicant.
9
Draft of: 4/21/2023
(3) Schedule for payment. In addition to requiring a retainer, the lead director may establish a
regular schedule for payment of fees, if he or she deems it necessary to ensure prompt payment for
services rendered by the county.
(4) Failure to pay retainer or required fees. If, at any time during a large project application, the
applicant or proponent does not timely pay for fees incurred, the lead director may order
department staff to cease review of the application until a retainer or the required fees are submitted
and paid to the department.

if they were established as part of this appendix.
ANNUAL FEE INDEXING

(CPIW). The CPIW is the Consumer Price Index – U.S. 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 rounded 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 five percent per year.

department and will be mailed to any customer upon request. The adjusted fee schedule will
show the prior year fees, the CPIW, and the new fee.

under this appendix will be evaluated for consistency with applicable laws, regulations and fee
policies adopted by the board of commissioners. Periodic fee review will consider at least the
following factors: service cost recovery; public versus private service benefit; departmental
goals; other available funding sources; and comparison fees in adjacent counties, statewide
averages and other comparable areas.

Note: 2020 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 – U.S. 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 rounded 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 five percent per year.

deposits will be returned promptly.
(d) Groups or individuals that cause damage to facilities above and beyond normal wear and
tear are liable for the full cost of replacement or repair of those facilities. The replacement
or repair will be conducted by Jefferson County parks and recreation and the responsible

days or more before the date of reservation. A 50 percent refund will be made for
cancellations made between 29 and 15 days before the reservation. No refund will be given
for cancellations made 14 days or less from the first day of the facility reservation.

A Resolution Adopting a Fee Schedule for the
Department of Public Works, Parks and
Recreation Division
RESOLUTION NO. _____________
WHEREAS, Jefferson County is a political subdivision of the state of Washington as
provided by Title 36 RCW and the Washington State Constitution Article 11, and may impose fees
to recoup the costs of providing services to the public; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners may impose fees charged by the
Department of Public Works, Parks and Recreation Division (“Parks”) to implement the code and
statutory duties; and,
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. XX and JCC 3.80.020 authorizes Parks to request adoption
of its annual fee schedule by resolution; and,
WHEREAS, Parks uses the “Pyramid Methodology of Cost Recovery” as described by
GreenPlay LLC in which fees are set to correspond to level of community benefit vs the level of
individual benefit that the facility provides; and,
WHEREAS, the fee proposal is comparable to fees charged by similar agencies in our
region; and,
WHEREAS, based on its 2023 analysis of the fee schedule and extensive input from park
users, Parks recommends changes in fees for the Parks and Recreation Program, attached as the
Appendix, for adoption in a 2023 fee resolution; and
WHEREAS, the fees in the proposed 2023 Fee Schedule for Parks do not exceed the actual
cost of providing the services for which those fees are charged.
