Board of Health Minutes September 21, 2017 2 of 4 o Package C that consists of an annual average of 150 gallons per day of indoor domestic use only, but could apply for other water use packages as per design specifications as submitted and signed by a licensed engineer (030) Added language to clarify that metering requirements only apply to well users, not cistern users (they would report to us) Ms. Read continued with the staff report for proposed changes to the KCPHD Fee Schedule Policy that will go into effect immediately. Below are the proposed changes: + Sliding Fee Scale Clarification: Language is added to reflect our current practice of asking for a nominal amount ($10), even if someone qualifies to slide the fee to zero. If the customer indicates they can't pay the nominal amount, the service is still provided. • Late Payments: Language is updated to include license renewals as well as annual operating permits. • Late Fee for Temporary Food Event A lications: Due to the 2017 increase of temporary food event fees, charging double the fee for a late application (within 2 weeks of event), is unrealistic for many applicants. A change to the late fee for temporary food event applications from double the fee to a 40% late fee is being proposed in order to still encourage timely applications, but without discouraging applications. • Refunds: The language indicating that a written request is required for a refund has been removed. Sometimes refunds are initiated by KCPHD staff. We have an internal process for documenting refunds and a written request from the customer is not necessary. * Effective Date: Instead of the policy being effective when all signatures have been obtained (which sometimes happens after it should go into effect), a line was added where the effective date being proposed can be written in. ■ Cistern Fees: As the county has worked to create a cistern program that is realistic for potential users, it is necessary to update the fees to reflect the new process and the code changes being proposed. These fee changes were created using the current county fee methodology (see Appendix A for staff time details). The following table reflects the proposed changes.
