Introduced by the Human Services and Finance Committees of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT FEE SCHEDULES

RESOLUTION #07-177

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Health Department is supported by revenues from the County General Fund, from state/federal and foundation grant contracts, and fee for service revenue; and

WHEREAS, the Health Department is confronted with declining grant fees for service revenues, placing the burden on the General Fund in order to continue the current level of services; and

WHEREAS, early indications are that the Health Department will require approximately $1.8 million in additional revenue from the General Fund to carry current levels of services through 2008; and

WHEREAS, the Department has reviewed its fee structures related to environmental health services to identify areas where it would be reasonable to increase fees and place a higher level of support for services on direct service recipients; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners has authority under the Public Health Code to establish fees for services provided by the Health Department; and

WHEREAS, the Health Officer has recommended that certain fees for service be established and certain fees for service be increased, and has advised that these proposed fees do not exceed the reasonable cost for providing the services.
