SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — December 19, 2002
ITEM: * 8.A.1. Consider an ordinance amending Section 6.503 of the Round Rock
Code of Ordinances changing the Inspection Fees for food
establishments by the Williamson County & Cities Health District.
(Second Reading)
Resource: Jim Nuse, Chief of Operations/Assistant City Manager
History: The permit/inspection fees that are currently charged by WCCHD for food
establishments, including restaurants and mobile food units were established in 1993.
Penalty fees were adopted in January of 1995, Daycare fees were adjusted in 1999 to
reflect the number of children cared for instead of the number of employees. Since
1993 there have been no increases in these fees. Because the cost of conducting
inspections has risen due to increases in salaries and benefits, cost of gas and auto
maintenance, and general overhead costs these fees no longer cover our cost of
conducting food establishment inspections.
Attached is a comparison of the current fees and proposed fees.
Funding:
Cost: N/A
Source of funds: N/A
Outside Resources: Williamson County & Cities Health District
Impact/Benefit: The increased fee will cover the cost of conducting inspections which
greatly benefit the citizens of Round Rock.
