City of
Common
Council Report
Meeting
Date: June 17, 2008
Item
No.
Recommendation: That the Common Council adopt Ordinance 2509,
amending Section 3.40 (15) (9) of the Retail Food Establishments Fee Structure to mirror the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Protection’s (DATCP) fees
plus the imposed administrative reimbursement fees to any new retail food
establishments this year and any existing establishment’s increase would be in
effect July 1, 2009.
Background: In August, 2007, the Department of
Agriculture proposed a fee increase but it wasn’t until April 30, 2008 that
DATCP was able to publish their new fee schedule which will be effective as of July
1, 2008. Therefore, as an Agent for the
State, the Oak Creek Health Department established their fees to closely
resemble the State’s fees plus the administrative reimbursement fee. On June 5, 2008, the Board of Health approved
to mirror DATCP’s fees plus the imposed administrative reimbursement fee to the
Oak Creek Health Department as attached.
There
are three Retail Food Establishment fee categories: 1) Annual License Fees 2)
Pre-inspection Fees and 3) Re-inspection Fees.
Only the Annual License Fees and the Re-inspection Fees will be affected;
there will be no change with the Pre-inspection Fees.
The
increase in Annual License Fees will be phased in over this year and next
year. These fees will affect any newly
licensed retail food establishments by July 1, 2008. However, these fees do not affect renewal of
existing retail food establishments until the July 1, 2009 license period. The Re-inspection fees will match the new
States fees effective July 1, 2009.
Ordinance
2509 has been reviewed by the Oak Creek City Attorney, Lawrence Haskin for
legal sufficiency
Fiscal Impact: With this increase over the next two
licensing cycles, the Oak Creek Health Department should receive approximately
$1,278.00 in additional revenue.
