Dear Augusta Commission:
The Mission of the Richmond County Health Department is to assure conditions in which
people can be healthy and to provide leadership in the prevention of disease and injury. It
is the responsibility of Environmental Health to assure that activities associated with food
service, tourist accommodations, public swimming pools, and on-site sewage
management systems also lead to conditions in which people can be healthy.
The fee schedule used to help recover costs associated with Environmental Health
services was adjusted in 2006. In order to help recoup the increased cost of doing
business, we are proposing a 15% increase to our fee schedule. The increase would go
into effect on July 1,2009. Subsequent adjustments would be based on the annual Cost of
Living Index, and would go into effect on July 1, 2010; 2011; 2012; etc. Please find
attached the proposed fee schedule for 2009. The adjusted fees have been rounded off to
the nearest whole dollar amount. We believe that the proposal is a reasonable adjustment,
and we urge the Augusta Commission to support 'and approve the new Environmental
Health fee document and subsequent fee adjustment recommendation.
Respectfull y,
/11. /t(L"
