Re: Health Permit Fees
In 2012, staff proposed an increase in fees for permitting food establishments as they had not
been reviewed nor updated since 1999. After Council consideration, staff was asked to make
adjustments to the proposed fees in order to reduce impact and/or hardship on smaller
establishments with only 1 to 10 employees. Adjustments were made and staff reviewed once
again with Council. Council adopted the budget (FY2013) that included the revenue with the
new fees for health permits which proposed an estimated $71,000 increase in revenue.
We have reviewed the fees of surrounding cities and included the City of Houston in the new
fees study. In some instances, we are below other city fees and in some instances we are a bit
higher than mid -point. If the proposed increases in fees are approved and adopted, the revenue
in these fees will increase by approximately $12.025. See attached revised fee study.
We have added an additional 44 new restaurants to our City in 2014. This adds an additional 88
base health inspections and an estimated 176 follow up inspections to our Health officer's
inspection rotation list without adding additional staff. As the City continues to grow, we
anticipate a significant increase in the number of restaurants and may need to add staff in order
to keep up with the City's Code of Ordinances which requires at least two health inspections per
year.
At this time, we recommend a nominal increase ($25 added to each type of fee) to cover the
increased workload on Code Enforcement. This modest incremental increase still places us
below or in the range of fees of the surrounding cities that were surveyed. Attempting higher
fees to align with other cities may have an adverse impact on smaller establishments. We
believe it is prudent to have small reasonable fee adjustments as necessary that recognize the
costs of inspecting and/or increased workload for inspectors in Pearland.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your time and
consideration.
