REC gbjQal : FIX July 15, 2€03 at 9:39 am for a public hearing on the proposed increase of certain Forensic Service Fees. The adoption of the attached Resolution will allow the County to recover the costs associated with the listed activities in the Fee Schedule dated July 1, 2003. Ill. § KKG UNP.: In the 1994-1985 fiscal year, the Forensic Services Division was required to cover costs of all services from laboratory users. A fee schedule was established defining the costs of evidence examination serviced for the users of laboratory services. The Forensic Services Division has experienced increases in costs for salaries and supply costs since the implementation of the fee schedule currOntly in use. This action supercedes any prior evidence examination fees set by the Board. IV. CQNSgQUENCE OF.NgQE V9&J, ION: Negative action will result in insufficient revenue to offset the cost of these activities. The County will bear the burden of the increased cost of providing laboratory examination services to law enforcement agencies and other entities requesting service.
