This cost recovery method was used to determine the 2017 Fee Schedule; however most of the calculations were based on time estimates for services rather than actual time data. To utilize the cost recovery method accurately, Kittitas County Public Health Department (KCPHD) staff implemented a system of tracking time spent on each fee service in December 2016 so that the 2018 Fee Schedule could be based on a full year's worth of time data for reliable averages. Using a twelve-month cycle of reconciled data, the 2018 Fee Schedule was updated and became effective May 21, 2018. , The fees were based on full cost recovery for environmental health programs matching and not exceeding the years budgeted revenue. For the community health fees, cost recovery and the current market for community health services were considered when updating those fees. The KCPHD Fee Schedule has been updated twice since the changes in May. Today Ms. Lamb is presenting the 2019 fee proposed changes. Below are the main highlights: • Addition to policy language to include encourage stakeholders or any interested parties to receive online notifications • Changes to prorated fees • Clarifying language additions throughout • Nonmonetary changes to fee schedule o Removal of Temporary Holding Tank o Removal of State Environmental Policy Act Board of Health Minutes April 18, 2019 2 of 3 o Addition of Soil Logs for plats o Addition of Temp Food Service Type C o Re -addition of Fair/Rodeo Food Service Permit o Removal of HACCP Annual Review and Variance Annual Review o Re -addition of HACCP Technical Assistance and special processes Fee Changes reflected in fee schedule were discussed The board presented a few questions about the estimated numbers, soil logs and adding them under on-site septic, and the fair/rodeo permit.
