Pursuant to Chapter 1760.01, all fees related to the issuance of lead-safe certificates or registration of local lead inspectors are to be deposited in the lead ordinance fund of the Toledo-Lucas County Health District to be used exclusively for the administration, implementation, and enforcement of Chapter 1760.
