Briefing presentations on the Environmental Health fee schedules were made to the Board of Health in July, August, and September. In September, a public hearing was opened for the purposes of collecting feedback from the public on the proposed fee schedule.  As of 10/3/23, no public comment had been received.

The fee schedules proposed with this staff report include a roughly 5% increase to reflect the 2023 negotiated PROTEC 17 cost of living adjustment. 

RCW 70.05.060 (7) Establish fee schedules for issuing or renewing licenses or permits or for such other services as are authorized by the law and the rules of the state board of health: PROVIDED, that such fees for services shall not exceed the actual cost of providing any such services.
