Title
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE XV-B OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE RELATING TO HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES CHARGES AND FEES (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
Today's action requests that the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) approve amendments to Article XV-B of the San Diego County Administrative Code related to fees charged for services by the County of San Diego (County) Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) Public Health Services and Behavioral Health Services. The Board last approved revisions to HHSA's fees and rates on May 4, 2021 (18).
The proposed Ordinance represents a comprehensive package that seeks to support the cost of providing HHSA services, while maintaining fees that are fair and equitable for customers and the public. In accordance with Board Policy B-29 (Fees, Grants, and Revenue Contracts-Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery), HHSA recently conducted a review of their fees and rates, in order to ensure costs are fully recovered for services provided to agencies or individuals. A total of 83 HHSA fees and their associated costs were reviewed, resulting in proposed additions, adjustments, deletions, and determinations to maintain existing fees. The Auditor and Controller has reviewed and approved the supporting documentation and the methodology for establishing the fees in this proposal for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
Today's request requires two steps: on April 26, 2022, it is requested that the Board consider an Ordinance amending sections of the San Diego County Administrative Code related to HHSA fees. If the Board takes the action as recommended, then on May 10, 2022, the proposed Ordinance will be brought back to the Board for consideration and adoption.
