Inspections, Fee Structure and Staffing • Hourly Rate and Fee Schedule presumes that we will: • Meet ADHS Delegation requirements setting minimum inspection frequency • Meet County Health Code obligations regarding construction and provisional inspections • Adequately follow-up on critical violations The costs of non-billable work such as miscellaneous complaints, vector control and public outreach were not included; instead being offset by County Health coverage of Indirect Costs.

  8. Review Process • Oct-Dec 2006: Time Study • January 2007: School Administrators meeting • February 2007: Board of Health unanimous endorsement of recommended Fee Schedule, recovering full costs of adequate EH inspection program and customer service expectations. • March 2007: Food Safety Industry Council supermajority support (after making minor adjustments)

  9. 2007 Fee Study • New Proposed Fees • Special Event Vendor Late Fee • Excess labor (typically overtime) equates to $55 • “Campground” License • Annual inspection = $181 • School Ground License (70% of actual cost) • Small = $ 115 Large = $ 139 Combined total revenue estimated at $15,500 annually

  10. 2007 Fee Study • Recommendation: recover full costs of meeting EH program requirements July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2009 • Enables YCCHS to increase staff by 2 FTEs and meet ADHS Delegation and YC Health Code requirements • Provides better service to industry and the public • More timely detection and correction of food service risks that could lead to food-borne disease outbreaks

  11. If approved … • Projected 07-08 Revenue: $ 696,658 (if 3% growth continues) $ 717,558 • Estimated 07-08 Budget: $ 700,464 • Projected 08-09 Revenue: $ 739,085 • Estimated 08-09 Budget: $ 743,806 2-year net operating surplus of $12,373 (< 1%)
