2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners December 11, 2001
FROM: COMMITTEE ON COUNTY SERVICES -- 2.3 DECEMBER 11, 2001
Your committee has considered communication 11-13-18 from Susan
Kaltenbach, County Clerk asking to establish a fee for replacement
of Carrying Concealed Weapons (CCW) permits, and to establish a
fee for laminating the picture provided by the applicant to new
CCW permits.
We met with Ms. Kaltenbach who informed us with the implementation
of P.A. 381 - Concealed Weapons Law, her office is now responsible
for collecting CCW application fees. The new law does not address
the cost of replacing CCW permits, i.e. when holders change their
address or misplace their licenses, etc. Just as with a new
permit, the replacement process is time consuming, and therefore
the Michigan Association of County Clerks is recommending counties
establish a standard charge of $10.00 for replacement of the
permit. ($10.00 replacement fee includes laminating)
The second issue relates to new permits and involves the method of
attaching the applicant's picture to the new permit. Since
laminating is the best way to affix a picture to a permit, the
Clerk's Office purchased a laminating machine as did many other
counties. To help offset the cost of the machine and its supplies
the Clerk is recommending a $2.00 laminating fee be established.
We recommend the County Clerk's request to establish fees for
replacement of CCW permits and laminating new permits be approved,
as outlined above and subject to Civil Counsel approval. We
further recommend the proper County officials be authorized and
directed to implement same.
Respectfully submitted,

Your committee has considered communication 12-11-3 from John
Neiderhauser, Health Officer, Saginaw County Department of Public
Health asking approval of a revised Environmental Health Fee
schedule.
The Department of Public Health continually reviews programs for
operational efficiency and effectiveness. Over the past several
years, Saginaw County has enjoyed economic growth which has led to
increased activities in residential and commercial development.
As a result, these activities have led to an increase in the
services provided by the Environmental Services Division. In
addition, the recently completed Accreditation review, as well as
