Title
From: Councilman Driscoll Response Requested: Whenever possible
What is the cost of inspection in terms of man-hours, to enforce our convenience store licensure legislation? What would the License fee need to be to cover that cost?
Body
Referral Response:
ANSWER: In terms of man-hours (person hours) it is estimated that there are about 3,120 hours worked to enforce. If including hourly wage and fringe benefits as the cost, estimating that there are 200 stores that meet the definition of Convivence Store, the License fee would need to be $705 to cover that cost. However, please note this does not include cost of mailings, postage, vehicles, supplies, equipment, etc.
