HEALTH FEES: This business was carried forward from the
July 6th meeting. Since then, the County Manager and County
Attorney have looked into the legal aspects of the health
director setting fees. At this time, the County Manager recommended
that the Board not allow the health director discretion to adjust
charges for home health services. He said this was based upon
his discussions with the Institute of Government and with the
County Attorney. His opinion and recommendation were based upon
legal and practical aspects, he said. The County Attorney
also recommended that the Board not delegate the responsibility
of setting fees to the health director inasmuch as it would be
giving away the power of an elected board, the County Attorney said.
