[Ord. No. 12-058 §3, 8-3-2012]
In order to promote public health and safety, the Department
of Community Health and the Environment through its Divisions of Public
Health and of Environmental Health may from time to time offer programs
to train and certify individuals who seek to acquire certain skills
or professional capabilities. These programs may include, but are
not limited to, training in: cardio-pulmonary resuscitation or "CPR";
the use of automatic external defibrillators or "AEDs"; the administration
of first aid; training in basic food sanitation; training in safe
food handling such as ServSafe, and training in managing risks posed
by bloodborn pathogens. Training programs leading to certifications
shall be offered in accordance with certification requirements of
the appropriate certifying body or organization, such as the American
Red Cross or the American Lung Association.
[Ord. No. 12-058 §3, 8-3-2012]
A. The Department is authorized to establish fees to recover the costs of training programs for skills or certifications authorized by Section
239.001 as provided in this Section.
1. Fees
shall be no more than the sum of:
a. The
actual costs of the course materials and test materials required for
the training program offered; and
b. The
costs of conducting that training program, namely:
(1) The costs of staff time in conducting that program; and
(2) The costs of any certifications required to be issued to trainees
who successfully complete the training program.
2. In January
of each year, the Department shall calculate or re-calculate:
a. The
costs of staff time for conducting each training program; and
b. The
portion of fees charged to trainees for recovering those costs, based
on anticipated or average enrollments in training programs, or on
another reasonable basis.
3. Because
the costs of course and test materials and of certifications may vary
with each training course offered, the Department shall provide written
notice on enrollment fees to all parties seeking to enroll in its
training programs before they enroll.
