Steve Wohld discussed IT’s internal service rates for 2019. He said offices are charged based on

direct costs. He said rates increased significantly for Public Works and the Sheriff’s Office and that rates
decreased for the Assessor’s Office, E911 and Solid Waste.

liability, staffing and the PDR team, among other things.

footage, are going up roughly 1.5 percent. Doug explained that each building has its own different
square-footage cost. He noted that office remodels, etc., are paid for out of the capital fund, not rates.
