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.
