Committee approves $125 late renewal fee for Environmental Health
Summary
Douglas County approved raising the Environmental Health late renewal fee to $125 to offset staff time and encourage timely payments; committee noted the item was initially listed incorrectly and required state standard amendments before formal referral.
The Administration Committee approved an increase to the Environmental Health late renewal fee during its March 5 meeting.
The fee is being raised to $125 to offset staff time spent sending late notices and to encourage timely payment. Committee member Dennis Cummings moved to approve the fee schedule change, Committee member Kelly Peterson seconded, and the motion carried unanimously; the item will be referred to the County Board. Committee minutes note the item had been incorrectly listed on the agenda and needed to include all state standard amendments, so staff will ensure the package is complete before final referral.
Staff presented the reasoning as administrative efficiency and compliance with state standards; no specific revenue estimate was included in the minutes.
