CityCouncil | 2008-06-17 | 17 | Councilmember deHaan inquired whether businesses have different fees, to which the City Manager responded in the negative. Mayor Johnson stated commercial businesses should be allowed one free false alarm per year. The Fire Chief stated fire alarms might be disconnected if restrictions are too severe. Mayor Johnson stated commercial false alarm rates should be $125 for the second alarm; $250 for the third; and $375 for the fourth. Councilmember Matarrese stated the first free false alarm should cover a period of six months. In response to Mayor Johnson's inquiry, the Assistant City Manager stated the Golf Commission has not recommended golf fee increases at this point. Mayor Johnson stated said increases could come back. The City Manager stated the last golf fee increase was not in conjunction with the annual Master Fee resolution. Councilmember Matarrese moved adoption of the resolution with the following revisions to the Master Fee Schedule: 1) the false fire alarm schedule for residential be $125 for the second alarm, $200 for the third alarm and $250 for the fourth alarm; 2) the false fire alarm for commercial be $125 for the second alarm, $250 for the third alarm and $375 for the fourth alarm; 3) that the period for false fire alarms be changed from quarterly to every six months; and 4) the rest of the fees be increase by CPI. Councilmember Gilmore inquired how much less revenue would be raised with the proposed revisions. Mayor Johnson responded the amount is not known now; stated the matter can be brought back. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he understands that $280,000 of the $300,000 comes from the ambulance fee increase; an additional $65,000 would have come from increased fire inspection fees; revenue would drop from $65,000 to $15,000 by using the CPI. Mayor Johnson stated that she wants ambulance collection fees Special Joint Meeting Alameda City Council, Alameda Public Financing Authority, Alameda Reuse and 7 Redevelopment Authority, and Community Improvement Commission June 17, 2008 | CityCouncil/2008-06-17.pdf |
