A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF REDDING AMENDING ITS SCHEDULE OF FEES AND
SERVICE CHARGES FOR CERTAIN FIRE DEPARTMENT
FIRE PREVENTION ACTIVITY FEES.
WHEREAS:
A. On October 4, 1988, by Resolution 88-364, the City Council adopted a Schedule of
Fees and Charges (Schedule), which has been amended from time-to-time.
B. Pursuant to Resolution 88-364, the City Manager is authorized and directed to
revise, supplement and maintain the Schedule so that it will be, to the greatest extent possible, a
comprehensive list of fees and charges for City permits and services; and that a fee that is not on
the Schedule will not be invalid but should be made a part thereof at the earliest possible time.
C. It is the desire of the City Council that all City services be self-supporting and not
subsidized as to their operational costs by revenues raised through the imposition of ad valorem
taxes or other sources of revenue.
D. The Fire Department has proposed (1) revising its fee for plan checks and sprinkler
plan checks from a flat fee to a sliding scale similar to what the Building Department currently
uses based on valuation; (2) modifying the sprinkler system inspection from a flat fee to $50 per
riser and 250 per sprinkler head; and (3) establishing a $25 fee for business owners who do not
correct fire code violations after two visits by the Fire Department. The City Council concurs
with the proposed revisions/additions, as set forth in the attached schedule.
E. A public meeting regarding the proposed changes in fees and charges and/or new
fees for the Fire Department's fire prevention activity fees was held on this date prior to the
adoption of this resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Redding FINDS,
DETERMINES, and RESOLVES as follows:
1. With respect to the proposed changes in fees and charges and/or new fees for the
Fire Department's fire prevention activity fees, the City Council finds and determines that:
A. The fees and charges previously established by resolution, and as modified by this
resolution, are reasonably related to or are less than the cost of providing the
specific services for which the fees are charged.
B. The new fees are reasonably related to or are less than the cost of providing the
specific services for which the fees are to be charged, and are necessary to cover the
City's costs of providing the services.
C. The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act do not apply to the new
or increased fees, which are for the purpose of meeting operating expenses or a
portion thereof.
D. The proposed new fees and increases will not exceed the governmental costs in
providing said services in fiscal year 2000-2001.
2. That the Schedule of Fees and Service Charges be amended to include the
fees/service charges set forth in the attached schedule to cover the City's costs of providing the
services.
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was introduced, read and adopted at
a regular meeting of the City Council on the 3rd day of October , 2000, by the following
vote:
