Laura Osiadacz called the meeting to order and noted that this is a public hearing to Joint BOCC/BOH
Public Hearing to consider the 2018 Kittitas County Public Health Fee Schedule and Code Changes to
Chapter 13.
Robin Read stepped to the microphone and noted that in 2016 the Kittitas County Public Health
Department adopted the county's new fee calculation methodology that calculates fees using actual cost
of service. The fee methodology was used to calculate the 2017 fees. Much of the staff time data was
based on estimates due to there not being a system in place to track time spent on actual fee services. A
new time tracking system was implemented in December 2016. A full year's worth of data was pulled in
January 2018 and analyzed with staff. The fee model was also updated with current labor and non -labor
costs. The proposed fee changes are based on full cost recovery for environmental health programs and
community health fees. Cost recovery, as well as the current market for community health services, were
considered when proposing new fees. Ms. Read reviewed changes to the fee policy and to the fee
schedule, and would like to request approval of the 2018 Kittitas County Public Health Fee Schedule with
the amendment presented.
Open Public Comment at 10:14 a.m.
The commissioners presented questions to the health department about how the fee methodology was
developed and why. Ms. Read answered all questions.
