Changes for Fiscal Year 2008-09 Donna Coffey, (919) 245-2151
PURPOSE: To approve proposed 2008-09 civil penalty, fee and occupancy tax changes and
direct staff to begin public outreach campaigns to notify the public of the increases during May
and June 2008.
BACKGROUND: Counties in North Carolina have authority to recoup, through user fees, costs
associated with a number of programs. Each year, staff reviews currently charged fees and
penalties to determine if they are appropriate, or if they need to be updated to reflect actual
costs to deliver the associated service. State statutes and other legislative mandates govern
civil penalties and fees associated with departments such as the Health Department,
Department of Social Services, Register of Deeds and Sheriff.
At the April 17, 2008 budget work session, staff shared proposed civil penalty, fee and
occupancy tax changes for fiscal year 2008-09 with Commissioners. In summary, the proposed
changes include:
/ Animal Services -Commissioners approved the civil penalties and fees included on the
attached spreadsheet on December 3, 2007 with an effective date of July 1, 2008.
/ Health Department -The Board of Health updates its fee schedule annually to reflect
the most recent Medicaid reimbursement rates. In addition, lab fees charged reflect
direct lab fee costs incurred by the Department for services performed by UNC and State
labs.
/ Social Services -Effective January 1, 2008, state adoption laws (NCGS 48-9-101, 48-9-
104 and 48-9-109) were amended to allow licensed child placing agencies including,
departments of social services, to voluntarily act as confidential intermediaries between
adult adoptees, adult lineal descendants of a deceased adult adoptee, parents of
adoptees under the age of 21, and birth parents. The department will charge a prepaid
non-refundable fee of $300. The department will reduce or waive fees for those
applicants who have verified income at 200 % of the poverty level or below.
/ Solid Waste Enterprise Fund -Effective July 1, 2008, the State of North Carolina will
require a $2 per ton excise-tax on every ton received at the landfill (NCGS 48-9-101, 48-
9-104 and 48-9-109). This will result in a $2 increase to Mixed Use and Construction and
Demolition fees that will go directly to the state each month. In addition, Solid Waste staff
has worked with Town of Chapel Hill staff to begin charging a fee for Regulated Material
Permit equivalent to 8 percent of applicable building permit fees - an arrangement similar
to the one the County currently has in place with the Town of Hillsborough.
/ Visitors Bureau Fund -Senate Bill 622 of the 1991 session of General Assembly gave
Orange County the authority to levy up to a 3% room occupancy tax on the gross receipts
derived from the rental of accommodations in the County. The Board of County
Commissioners adopted resolution, on February 19, 2007, to consider a 1 % increase in
the tax. The increase would take the tax from its current rate of 2% to the maximum rate
of 3%.
The effective date of the new fees and occupancy tax is July 1, 2008. The attached
spreadsheet, Civil Penalty, Fee and Occupancy Tax Changes for Fiscal Year 2008-09, offers
details regarding individual fee changes.
On April 17, 2008, the Board directed staff to move forward with updating the County's current
fee schedule and occupancy tax, and bring an agenda item to the May 1 regular meeting for
approval of the proposed penalty, fee and occupancy tax rates. This will allow departments to
conduct public outreach campaigns and notify the public during May and June 2008 of the
changes.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Staff projects that the proposed increases will have the following impacts
on individual departments:
/ Animal Services -Additional revenue from civil penalties/fees increases estimated at
$1,500 for fiscal year 2008-09
/ Health Department - A majority of Health Department patients fall in the zero to 20
percent pay scale; therefore, staff projects revenue generated by the fee increases will be
minimal.
/ Social Services -Based on the projected cases, staff projects little, if any, additional
revenues.
/ Solid Waste Enterprise Fund -This tax is a State imposed revenue and the County plans
to pass the monies on to the State. Staff anticipates no additional County revenue from
the tax. Staff anticipates revenues generated by the Regulated Material Permit, to be
paid to the County by the Town of Chapel Hill, will generate an additional $30,000 next
fiscal year.
/ Visitors Bureau -Staff anticipates that the 1 % increase in Occupancy Tax will generate
approximately $250,000 in fiscal year 2008-09. The Bureau plans to use the additional
funds to meet the demands of increased competition for tourism.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
approve the proposed 2008-09 civil penalty, fee, and occupancy tax changes and direct staff to
begin public outreach campaigns to notify the public during May and June 2008 of the changes.
