(CARRIED__7-0_____LOST_______LAID OVER_______WITHDRAWN_______)
PURPOSE: APPROVAL OF FEE SCHEDULE FOR NON-ROUTINE FIRE
INSPECTION SERVICES
INITIATED BY: FIRE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, the Fire Prevention Ordinance, Chapter 13, of the Municipal Code
provides for the adoption of a fee schedule for non-routine inspection services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the attached Fire Inspection Fee
Schedule is hereby adopted and shall be in full force and effect for inspections conducted
on and after January 1, 2013.
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Tim Franz, Fire Chief
DATE: November 8, 2012.
RE: Fee Schedule for Non-Routine Inspections
BACKGROUND
Pending the approval of the amendment of the Fire Prevention Ordinance Chapter 13, a
fee schedule needs to be developed for the non-routine inspections outlined in the
ordinance. These inspections are above beyond basic level service and are a direct benefit
to a specific property. With an increase in demand for these types of inspections and
services, and the subsequent cost, it would be appropriate that they are funded by these
fees for service.
ANALYSIS
The proposed fees for non routine fire inspection services are based on cost of average
staff time cost of the service and administration. In comparison to other Cities that we
reviewed these fees are comparable to those charged by the communities of Appleton,
Town of Menasha, Fond du Lac, Eau Claire and Green Bay.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fees we are proposing for fire special fire inspection, permits and services would
provide an estimated $14,130.00 in revenue for the City.
RECCOMENDATION
I recommend that the City approve attached to allow fee schedule for non-routine fire
inspection services. This will ensure our,ability to cover the cost of enforcing the Fire
Prevention Codes for the continued safety of our residents and property owners. These
fees will become effective January 1, 2103. Please direct any questions regarding this
matter to the Fire Chief.
