ILLINOIS: County board to weigh hike in health-inspection fees - (State Journal-Register)
August 12, 2008 – 12:02 amRestaurants would pay up to four times more in annual health-inspection fees after two years of graduated increases under a proposal that will be considered today by the Sangamon County Board.
Anything thats for-profit, where we have to inspect it, the county has the philosophy of trying to recover the full cost of providing that service, said Jim Stone, director of the Sangamon County Department of Public Health.
The fee changes being considered by the county board and other fee changes recently approved by the Sangamon County Board of Health would reduce the health departments annual $1.9 million property tax subsidy by about one-quarter, or $450,000, Stone said.
