Fiscal Note
The proposed ordinance change increases various fees for licensed establishments. The City is experiencing rapid growth in licensed establishments and is adding new licenses each year requiring Public Health to increase staff to administer the program. The Public Health 2020 Operating Budget request includes an additional 1.0 FTE Sanitarian position and an additional 1.0 FTE Supervisor within the Licensed Establishments service to bring staffing ratios in alignment with FDA guidance. The proposed fee increases will cover the additional personnel expense. The average change in the fees is 17% and increases revenue by approximately $330,000.
