Information

Agenda Item Text:

Adopt Resolution 18-11 increasing the schedule of fees for Vital Records Services provided by the County of Cochise, effective August 1, 2018. 

Background:

Cochise County Vital Records fees were last changed in 2011 when the state increased its surcharge due for each certificate issued from $1 to $5.  At that time, virtually all Arizona counties increased their basic birth and death certificate fees to $20, while Cochise County increased the certificate fees by $5 to $15.  With the exception of Cochise County, every county with a full-service vital records operation now charges basic certificate fees of $20. 
 
Adopting this standard fee schedule will enable CHSS to enhance our customers’ experience by introducing same-day, walk-in Vital Records service at all five of our clinic sites.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Implement fee increase and service enhancements on 8/1/18.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Continuation of the current practice of mail-only delivery of Vital Records certificates by CHSS.
