At the request of Councilmember Jared Mead, the Department is submitting Ordinance BOH24-05 for Board of Health action.

The ordinance has changed since the Board was last briefed on this topic. Formerly, the ordinance created a food business support period that was activated once the oldest application in the plan review queue reached 20 weeks. The ordinance has been edited to remove references of a support period and instead the incentive credit will be offered to any mobile food unit in good standing who has obtained a temporary permit to operate while they have waited for plan review longer than 84 days (12 weeks). 

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.
