Winnsboro restores false-alarm fee to fee schedule; $50 response after five false alarms
Summary
Council added back a previously removed $50 false-alarm response fee to the city’s fee schedule; the fee applies per response in excess of five false alarms.
The Winnsboro City Council approved an update to the city fee schedule to reinstate the false-alarm response fee of $50 per response once a property exceeds five false alarms.
Staff told council the fee had been inadvertently removed from the updated fee schedule approved at the May meeting and that the action simply restores the previously adopted charge. The transcript records the fee as “$50 false alarm response $50 per per false alarm response in excess of 5 false alarms,” and the council approved the item by voice vote with no changes to the dollar amount.
The council did not discuss enforcement mechanics, billing procedures or appeals during the meeting; staff materials in the packet were cited as containing the corrected fee schedule.
