Title
NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING: AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND ARTICLE XX SECTION 364.6 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, RELATING TO MEDICAL EXAMINER FEES AND CHARGES (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
Today's action requests that the Board of Supervisors (Board) approve amendments to Article XX of the San Diego County Administrative Code. The Board last approved revisions to the Department of the Medical Examiner fees on April 24, 2018 (01).
The Department of the Medical Examiner recently conducted a review of fees and rates to ensure compliance with Board Policy B-29 (Fees, Grants, and Revenue Contracts - Department Responsibility for Cost Recovery), which requires County departments to recover the costs to provide services to agencies or individuals. All six (6) Medical Examiner fees were reviewed, resulting in a proposed increase in five (5) fees and a proposed decrease in one (1) fee. The Auditor and Controller reviewed and approved the supporting documentation and methodology used to determine the proposed fees to be adjusted in this proposal.
Today's request includes two steps. The ordinance will be introduced on April 30, 2024, and, if approved, it will be scheduled for adoption on May 21, 2024. If the proposed ordinance is altered on May 21, 2024, then on that date, a subsequent meeting date will be selected for the ordinance's adoption.
