Town will consider false-alarm fee after neighboring Michiana Shores begins charging
Summary
Notes from a June 18 meeting show Michiana Shores will start charging for false alarms and that Long Beach officials placed consideration of a similar fee on the town council agenda for July 13, 2026; transcript does not name a mover or record a vote.
Meeting notes record that Michiana Shores plans to begin charging for false alarms. Because Long Beach Volunteer Fire Department personnel are required to respond to some Michiana Shores calls, participants asked whether Long Beach should adopt a false-alarm fee of its own.
The meeting did not include a formal motion or vote on fees; minutes state the matter will appear on the Town of Long Beach council agenda on July 13, 2026, for further discussion and any formal action.
No statute, ordinance number, or fee schedule was provided in the meeting notes; officials did not specify proposed fee amounts, thresholds for charging, or exemptions during the discussion recorded in the transcript.
