Commission signs DPHHS task order to reimburse food-safety licensing fees
Summary
Park County approved signing DPHHS task order number 26074211310 to enable the county health department to receive reimbursement of environmental health and food-safety license fees; commissioners said the extra revenue will support public-health inspections.
Park County commissioners voted Dec. 16 to sign a routine Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) task order (no. 26074211310) that reimburses the county health department for environmental health and food-safety licensing fees.
Travis, representing the health department, described the task order as an annual contract that channels license-fee reimbursements back to county environmental health work. He said the state legislature recently revised the fee structure, and the county expects higher inspection-related revenue in the coming year.
A member of the public (identified in the transcript as Eric) clarified that this task order functions as a contract rather than a grant. Commissioners said the extra revenue will help the health department’s environmental health efforts, citing recent local reports of food contamination and pest issues in a tourist area.
The commission moved, seconded and approved signing the DPHHS task order by voice vote. The motion was described by commissioners as approval to sign the task order; the transcript records an affirmative voice vote but does not include an individual roll-call tally.
Next steps: county staff will execute the task order and the health department will implement any necessary administrative steps to receive reimbursements.
