Resolution No. 98/215
Subject: Amend to Resolution 98/195 (Amending Itemized Professional and Service
Rate Charges for Contra Costa County Health Services Effective March, 1,
1998) (item D.1104/14/98) to adopt the Hazardous Materials portion of the
fees which were deferred by the Board of Supervisors on April 14, 1998.
At the April 14, 1998 Board of Supervisors meeting, the above referenced item was agendized
for passage. Mr. John Wolfe, Contra Costa Taxpayers Association spoke at this meeting stating
that there was apparent dissatisfaction from one of his constituents on CCCHSD procedures for
setting Hazardous Materials fees and would ask that passage on the Hazardous Materials portion
of this resolution be delayed until all concerned had a chance to sit down and discuss this issue.
On Wednesday April 22, 1998 Mr. Lew Pascalli,Jr.,Deputy Director of the Hazardous Materials
Department met with John Wolfe, and Jack Freethy, owner of El Cerrito Lumber Company for
discussion of fee setting. Mr. Pascalii stated that CCCHSD has worked very diligently to have
the fee schedules revamped to allocate a higher percentage of fees to the upper end of bigger
businesses resulting in approximately 48% of the businesses receiving smaller fees in the next
billing cycle.
Agreement was reached on the proposed resolution with CCCHSD's commitment to work with
the Lumberman's Association to see if there is any way to document the small risk that lumber
mills have in relation to other businesses having similar inventories.
Mr. Wolfe stated that he would indicate at next weeks Board of Supervisors meeting that
CCCHSD has met and agreement was reached on the matter.
