SUBJECT: STATUS OF THE COUNTYWIDE FEE SCHEDULE PROJECT
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept report from the County Administrator on the status of the countywide
fee schedule project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None at this time. The fee schedule compiles existing information on fees
obtained from County departments. A later phase of the project will
contain recommendations with financial implications.
BACKGROUND:
On March 22, 1988, - the Board of Supervisors directed the County
Administrator to "undertake a fee and revenue review with policy direction
that the County is to fully recover all costs, including overhead" . To
prepare a comprehensive countywide review of fees, the County Administrator
asked departments to submit information about each charge for service or
fee beginning with those budgeted at $100 ,000 or more. Departments
submitted the requested data at the end of June. The County
Administrator' s Office compiled the data into a preliminary Countywide
schedule of fees producing $100,000 or more in revenue in 1988-89
(Attachment I ) .
Fifteen County departments reported 68 sources of fee revenue which produce
$100,000 or more per year. The fees surveyed generated a total of
$84,691,482 in 1987-88, and will generate $92, 286, 966 in 1988-89, according
to departmental estimates. Over half of this revenue results from the
provision of medical services to Merrithew Memorial Hospital and clinic
patients in the Health Services Department.
The departments reported that thirty fees, or 440, included indirect costs.
Twenty-eight fees, or 410, were authorized by the County through
resolution, ordinance, or policy and are, therefore, probably easier to
amend than the 26 fees, or 380, authorized by the State. At least 32 fees,
or 470, were updated within the last two years. Twelve of the fees
reported, or 180, recovered less than 100% of their full costs. .

In order to comprehensively review fees, the next phase of the study will
involve:
1. Investigating the methodology departments used to develop fees;
2. Examining fees which have potential for recovering indirect costs,
were not updated within the last two years, or do not recover their
' full costs;
3 . Identifying problems with raising additional revenues;
4. Developing a- list of new potential fees by department; and
5,. Establishing a county-wide fee schedule.
An updated report with recommendations based on these findings will be
submitted for the Board of Supervisors ' approval in December.
FEE SCHEDULE : FEES PRODUCING $100,000.
