REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND: Approximately eight years ago, the Board of Supervisors adopted fees for permits, inspections, plan-checking and other Fire Prevention Bureau functions for the Contra Costa County and the Riverview Fire Protection Districts. The Riverview fee program also applies to the Bethel Island, East Diablo and Oakley Fire Protection Districts. The fee schedules were designed to partially cover the cost of fire inspection activities and to enable the districts to add personnel to increase the level of service as required by State and local codes and ordinances. The fees are based on the cost to the districts of providing the inspection services and have been adjusted twice since the original fee adoption to .reflect cost increases related to salary increases. The fees were last adjusted in the fall of 1990. Accordingly, the districts have requested the proposed increase to bring the fee schedule in line with current costs. Continued on Attachment:—X— YES Signature:" Recommendation of County Administrator Recommendation of Board Committee Approve Other Signature(s) : Action of Board on: Approved as Recommended -Other Vote of Supervisors: I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN –�— Unanimous (Absent ) AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE Ayes: Noes: ) BOARD OF SUPRVISORS 0 DATE SHOWN. Contact: T. McGraw (646-4855) Attested: cc: County Administrator Phil Batchelor, Clerk of Auditor-Controller the Board of Supervisors County Counsel A and County Administrator County and Indep. Fire Dist. By: , DEPUTY The adoption of fee schedules for the Moraga, Orinda and West County Fire Districts is proposed to help cover the costs of fire inspection services in these districts. The recommended fees will result in estimated annual revenue increases as follows: District Amount Contra Costa County $125,000 Moraga $ 7, 500 Orinda $ 5,000 Riverview (includes all East County Districts) $ 40,000 West County $ 40,000 The adoption of the proposed ordinances will result in uniform fire prevention fees for all of the above-mentioned districts. In a separate, but related, action on November 24, 1992, it is being recommended that the Board of Supervisors hold a public hearing on December 15 , 1992 to adopt ordinances setting fire inspection fees. However, these fees will not become effective until 'February 14, 1993 . The recommended urgency interim ordinances will become effective immediately and will cover the time period prior to the effective date of the permanent ordinances in February. If the urgency measures are not adopted, the fire districts could lose as much as $50,000 during the interim period. URGENCY INTERIM ORDINANCES OF THE BETHEL ISLAND (92- 84 ) , CONTRA COSTA COUNTY (9 2- 85 ) , EAST DIABLO (9 2-86 ) , MORAGA (9 2- 87 ) , OAKLEY (92- 88 ) , ORINDA (92- 89 ) , RIVERVIEW (92- 90 ) , AND WEST COUNTY (92- 91) , FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICTS ADOPTING FEES FOR PERMITS, INSPECTIONS, PLAN-CHECKING AND OTHER SERVICES, AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NUMBERS 90-43 THROUGH 90-48 The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County, as and constituting the Board of Directors of the Bethel Island, Contra Costa County, East Diablo, Moraga, Oakley, Orinda, Riverview, and West County Fire Protection Districts, ordains as follows : Section I . Repeal . Except as provided herein, Ordinances Nos . 90-43 through 90-48 are hereby suspended during the effective period of this ordinance. Section II . Authority. This ordinance is enacted, in part, pursuant to Health and Safety Code sections 13146 .2(b) , 13217 (b) , 13869, 13871, 13916 and 17951, Government Code section 6103 . 7, and the adopted provisions of the Uniform Fire Code. Section III . Procedure. This ordinance was adopted in part pursuant to the procedure set forth in Government Code section 66017 . Section IV. Permit, Inspection, Plan-Checking and Other Fees . Each person who applies for, requests or receives a permit, inspection, plan review or other service furnished by District shall, at the time of such application, request or receipt, pay the applicable fee or fees listed in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated by this reference. As used in this Section, the term "person" means any natural person, firm association, joint venture, joint stock company, partnership, organization, club, company, corporation, trust or other type of entity. Section V. Severability. If any fee or provision of this ordinance is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that holding shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining fees or provisions, and the Board declares that it would have adopted each part of this ordinance irrespective of the validity of any other part. Section VI . Prior ordinance. If this ordinance or any fee established pursuant hereto is held ineffective, invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such ruling shall have the immediate effect of reinstating the ordinance and each fee for the same or similar service suspended in Section I, above. It is the Board's intention that during any period that the higher fees established by this ordinance are deemed ineffective, fees ,previously established pursuant to Ordinances Nos. 90-43 through 90-48 shall remain in effect. Section VII . Urgency Declaration. This ordinance is an urgency measure as an interim authorization for increased fees or charges to protect the public health, welfare and safety, as authorized by Government Code section 66017 . There is an urgent need for an increase in fees for permit, inspection, plan review, and other services provided by the District. The fees currently in effect do not reflect the cost to the District of the services provided. The existing fees are a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare because unless the fees are increased to reflect the actual cost to the District of providing these services, the ability of the District to provide these and other life-preserving services will be curtailed. Section VIII . Effective Date. This ordinance becomes effective immediately upon passage and shall be operative for thirty days pursuant to Government Code section 66017 . Within 15 days of passage, this ordinance or a summary thereof prepared by the County Counsel shall be published once with the names of the Supervisors voting for and against it in the Contra Costa Times, a newspaper of general circulation published in this County.
