Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance establishing a fee schedule for various inspections conducted by the Deer Park Fire Marshal’s Office.
Body
Summary:
It is becoming more common for local governments to collect fees associated with the conduction of inspections by the Fire Marshal’s Office. These represent an attempt to offset the time and resources consumed by these inspections and the workload demand on the office, as opposed to the conduction of other community-oriented programs such as public fire education and prevention programs.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
These fees would generate revenue to offset the time and resources for conducting the associated inspections.
Recommended action
Staff recommends approval of the proposed fee structure.
