The fees charged for selected County services is scheduled to take effect on January 2, 2000. According to Phillips, the fees that had been, needed to be increased to cover the cost of printing. According to the County Record this fee increase originally came before the Board on September 19, 2000 but was not approved at that time because it was unclear as to how much was actually being charged. County Counsel Jeff Green recommended that the request be held until a clarification could be reached. After clarifying the actual costs, the request came back before the board and gained their support.
