Department and will review the schedule annually Mr Ramsey spoke on the proposed fee changes in comparison to surrounding counties stating staff tried to come up with a schedule that was in the middle Mr Ramsey noted most of the local community would not see these new fees until next year or when they have a new establishment At the inquiry of Commissioner Allen L Mims , Jr , Mr Ramsey stated the fee schedule should be based on what it costs to provide the service ; however , this time he was tasked with getting Johnston County’s fee schedule to be more comparable with surrounding counties Dr Pearson stated if the fee schedule were revised to actually cover the cost of the services , then it would be twice the amount staff is currently proposing Mr Ramsey agreed with Dr Pearson and stated in the future it is staff’s hope that by reviewing the fee schedule more often , the fees can be revised all along to better reflect the actual cost of the service without causing “ sticker shock ” to the customers At the request of Commissioner Keith Branch , Mr Ramsey reported for some of the permits , such as the mobile food units , those permits are mandated by the State of North Carolina and

operate out of the County and it is hoped that by setting the fee more in line with other counties , the vendors will obtain the permits in the actual county where they plan to operate At the inquiry of Commissioner Cookie Pope , Mr Ramsey stated he is unaware of any efforts by the North Carolina General Assembly to require vendors to obtain mobile food unit permits in the counties where they plan
