Title
Ratification of Proposed Revisions to Lake County Health Department Environmental Health Fees Schedule (as authorized in Lake County Code of Ordinances Chapter 178) - Mackey
Body
Environmental Health is proposing revisions to the Environmental Health Fees Schedule to clarify requirements, add fees for farmers' market sales permits (as recently implemented by State statute), add a fee for cottage food operation registrations (as required by State Statute), add a fee category for high risk (category 1) temporary food service multiple event permits, and to support fee and procedural changes to temporary food service permits.
Specifically, the proposed revisions are as follows:
* Language is added to specify that fees established or controlled by Illinois statute or other authorized agencies are not subject to annual adjustment by the Lake County Consumer Price Index.
* Terminology for single and multiple temporary food service event permits is made consistent throughout; other terms are amended for clarity.
* Fees for Farmers' Market Sales Permits (egg sales and full sales) are added, as recently established by Illinois statute.
* A fee for a high risk (category 1) Temporary Foodservice Multiple Event Permit (Food Trucks Only) is added.
* Language is added to clarify that Temporary Multiple Event Permits are valid for 6 months.
* The timeframe when a late fee is due for a temporary food service event permit is shortened from 7 days to 3 days; the late fee is increased from $37 to $50.
* A late fee of $200 is added and may be charged for temporary food service permit applications made the same day of the event.
* A fee is added for the registration of a Cottage Food Operation of $50, per Illinois statute.
These revisions were approved by the Board of Health Environmental Health Advisory Committee on August 15, 2022. A public hearing was held on August 31, 2022.
