BENCHMARK SURVEY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH FEES

The following matrix compares Los Angeles County environmental health fees to those of comparable jurisdictions. Jurisdictions includedin the benchmark survey include:

County of Orange, California County of San Diego, California County of Alameda, California County of Sacramento, California

City of Long Beach, California

This survey identifies the fee charged by each jurisdiction only. The actual cost that each jurisdiction incurs to provide these fee-relatedservices is unknown by MGT. Accordingly, these surveys are often referred to as market rate comparisons.

Potential New Fees

A byproduct of the benchmark survey is the identification of potential new fees that the County can institute. Any fee charged by asurvey participant that is not covered by the Countys fee schedule becomes a potential new fee. These potential new fees are listed atthe bottom of the first page of the benchmark survey.
