The previous method of adopting and amending fee schedules by ordinance lacked transparency and was cumbersome for county offices and departments with few resources. As a result, inaccurate fees were left in the code which did not reflect the current fee schedule used by the department or office. Under new chapter 3.80 of the Jefferson County Code (JCC), fee schedules are now adopted by resolution. To effect the transition, county departments and offices are encouraged to bring their fee schedules current by the end of the year, by eliminating the fees in the code and adopting a new fee schedule by resolution. Thereafter, the department or office can adopt new fees by resolution in future years. To accomplish this goal for a number of departments and offices at once, the Prosecuting Attorney's Office put together the necessary ordinances and resolutions for five departments to be considered together for the Board's review. The fee changes for all five offices/departments will be presented to the Board in a workshop format. In this package of five ordinances and resolutions, there are only a few minor changes to fee schedules, all of which can be discussed at the workshop and through the public hearing process. The five offices/departments are: (1) the County Auditor; (2) the County Sheriff; (3) the Public Records Act Administrator; (4) the Superior Court Clerk; and(5)the Department of Public Health. ANALYSIS: The Board has already made the decision to convert fee schedule adoption to resolution. These ordinances and fee resolutions implement the new chapter 3.80 JCC, and will help update our system and rid the code of inaccurate fee schedules. FISCAL IMPACT: Staff time will be saved and fees will be kept up to date. This will reduce expenditures. RECOMMENDATION: The Board of Health will attend a Joint Special Meeting of the Board of County Commissioners to hold a hearing on the 2023-2024 Public Fee Changes, and potentially take-action on the proposed ordinance and resolution for the Environmental Health Fees. After taking-action, the BOH will adjourn their meeting, and the BOCC will continue with their hearing to address the other proposed departmental fee changes.
