Committee continues proposed fire-department fee increases and related business-license fee changes to next hearing
Summary
Captain Tom Harvey described routine annual fee adjustments for fire-department services; the budget analyst estimated $758,200 in revenue for the fire-code fee changes and $45,000 for the related business-license changes. The committee continued both items to June 27.
The committee considered two related ordinances to increase fees for certain fire-department services and to amend the Business and Tax Regulations Code to increase licensing fees for permits issued by the Fire Department.
Captain Tom Harvey, speaking for the fire marshal, described the package as a regular, routine adjustment of fees the department charges for inspections and services. Budget Analyst Ken Bruce said the revenue estimate for the fire-code fee adjustments (Item 3) is $758,200 and the estimate for the business-license fee changes (Item 4) is $45,000.
There was no public testimony on these items. The committee voted to continue Items 3 and 4 to the June 27 hearing (motion recorded as made by Supervisor Duffy, seconded by Supervisor Mercarimi), carrying the continuation without objection.
Next steps: the budget analyst will provide a formal report in advance of the June 27 hearing when the items will be reconsidered.
