FROM: Mark R. Finucane, Health Services Director Contra
Costa
DATE: March 29, 1985 Courly
SUBJECT: Ordinance Adding Fees for Infectious Waste Producers
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt an ordinance imposing new fees for services now provided by the
Environmental Health Division. The proposed ordinance was drafted by County
Counsel.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
Adoption of this ordinance will increase revenue in the Environmental Health
Division programs by an estimated $8,000 annually. This additional revenue was
included in the revenue estimate prepared by the Divsion for Fiscal Year
1985-86.
III. REASON FOR THIS RECOMMENDATION
To recover the Health Officer's costs for regulating the handling and disposal
of infectious wastes. The regulatory effort has been ongoing for several years
and fees for this service have not been established.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
This program is not state mandated. However, state regulations do give local
government the option to assume authority for regulating the handling of infec-
tious waste. By regulating the generators, the County has control over the
entire waste stream including the generators, the transporters, and the disposal
sites. If the license fees are not approved, we will continue to be involved
with this program with no revenues to offset our regulatory efforts.
