Boone County Board To Discuss Nonprofit Food Service Permit Fees

The Boone County Board will discuss whether local nonprofits should be charged for food service permits. 

Fees are expected to bring in $25,000 for the Health Department, but the idea was criticized by some, including local VFW Commander Greg Kelm and County Board member Cathy Ward. 

In a Facebook post, Ward challenged the Health Department’s insistence that it needed the fees, saying the department’s budget is 88% salary and benefits.  

The Board meeting begins tomorrow at 6:00.
