Finance Committee
City of Vernon ( C
Honorable Members:
The Environmental Health Department is requesting to increase the
City's health permit fees by 5%. This fee has not been raised
since 1999, and this year's survey shows that other local health
agencies have or will be increasing their fees between 6% and
15%. The 5% increase is based on the consumer price index
increases that have totaled slightly more than 5% for the past
two years.
Submitted herewith is a proposed rate schedule for health permit
fees as proposed by the Director of Environmental Health, and it
is hereby recommended that the health permit fees be increased
per the attached schedule, effective June 1, 2001, and that the
City Attorney be authorized to prepare a Resolution.
Very truly yours,
v

Memo
To: Bruce V. Malkenhorst CityAdministrator
From: Lewis Pozzebon, Director, Environmental Health
Date: 4/24/2001
Re: Health Permit Fees Increase
Annually we review our health permit fees and program costs and compare them with other
local environmental health jurisdictions (Los Angeles County and the Cities of Long Beach
and Pasadena). The process is intended to identify significant disparities between Vernon's
fees and the fees charged by these other jurisdictions. In the past, when large disparities
were noted, we have raised fees to levels that are slightly below those of other jurisdictions.
This year Los Angeles County is raising its fees by 15% and Pasadena has increased fees
3% each of the last two years. Long Beach is also considering a similar increase. Ater
evaluatiing the increases by these jurisdictions and the fact that we have not raised health
permit fees since July 1, 1999, 1 am recommending a five percent (5%) increase. The five
percent increase is based on the consumer price index increases that have totaled slightly
more than five percent for the last two years since the last health permit fee adjustment.
Based on our discussion on April 23, 2001, and with your concurrence, I am forwarding this
recommendation for submission to the Finance Committee to raise health permit fees this
year by five per cent, with an effective date of June 1, 2001.
If you have any questions, or require further information, please contact me.
