All standard fees are approved by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. Any variance of these fees within the established spending authority of the Facilities, Fleet, and Emergency Support Services (FFESS) Director may be approved by that Director on a case-by-case basis.
The purpose of fees is to generate revenue to offset the operational costs of the Facilities and to provide funds for future capital improvements.
