Regulations on Environmental Health Service Fees and Food Code Amendments
Pursuant to its authority under RCW 70.05.060, the King County Board of Health hereby gives notice of proposed amendments to Titles 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the Code of the King County Board of Health (“Board of Health Code”). The proposed amendments accomplish the following in order to both (i) relocate the codes governing fees for Environmental Health services into a single Title within the Board of Health Code, and (ii) update the King County Food Code:
- Relocate the Environmental Health service fees from their present locations throughout the Board of Health Code and place them into Title 2 governing officers and administration;
- Revise the fees for permits, plan reviews, inspections, and other Environmental Health services in the Food, Solid Waste, Drinking Water, Wastewater, Water Recreation Facility, and School Inspection programs to reflect accurately the cost of providing services for each calendar year through 2008;
- Repeal obsolete provisions of the King County Food Code (Health Code Title 5); and
- Adopt the recently-updated Washington State Board of Health food service rules (Chapter 246-215 WAC), with local amendments.
A public hearing on the proposed rules at which the public may state their views orally or in writing will be held during the regular meeting of the King County Board of Health, June 17, 2005, 9:30 a.m. in the Metropolitan King County Council Chambers, 10th floor, Courthouse, 516 Third Avenue, Seattle, WA.
