SUBJECT: ORDINANCES TO INCREASE FIRE PREVENTION FEE SCHEDULE County
SPECIFIC REQUEST{S}OR RECOMMENDATION{S}&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT Ordinance 2004-07 and 2004-08 increasing the Fire Prevention Fee Schedule for
the East Contra Costa and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection Districts.
FISCAL IMPACT:
It is anticipated that, as a result of the amended ordinance, the updated Schedule will
generate additional revenue estimated at$300,000, which well assist the Districts with
recovering costs associated with the provision of permitting, inspection, and plan review
services.
BACKGROUND:
In 1086, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted a Fire Prevention Fee
Schedule for the Contra Costa Fire Protection District and other dependent fire districts.
Since that time, the Board has approved two increases for the purpose of recovering
reasonable costs to offset the expenses for the provision of such services. The last Board
authorized increase was in 1902 (Ord. 92-97).
On October 5, 2004, the Board fixed a public hearing for October 26, 2004 to consider
increasing the Fire Prevention Fee Schedule. Notices were published in the newspaper
and documentation for public inspection supporting the fee adjustment has been provided.

ORDINANCE NOS. 2004-08 and 2004-07
1
In 1986 the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted a Fire Prevention Fee Schedule for the Contra
Costa County Fire Protection District and other dependent fire districts. Since that time, the Board has approved
two increases for the purpose of recovering reasonable cosh to offset the expenses for the provision of such
services. The last Board authorized Fire Prevention Fee Schedule increase was in 1992 (Ord. 92-97). Twelve
(12) years have passed since that increase and salary and benefit costs have risen significantly.
Other fire jurisdictions were polled with respect to their Fire Prevention Fee Schedules. With Board approval,
the new fee schedule will have rates that comport with the rates in other, similar fire jurisdictions.
CONSEQUENCE OF_NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without this increase in fire prevention fees, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District will be unable to
recover the actual costs of certain positions in,providing such services. General fund revenues would be
required to provide the additional monies necessary to fund the positions, resulting in a decrease in the amount
of general fund revenues available for conducting emergency response activities, or Fire Prevention services
would need to be reduced along with the elimination of some positions.

Subject: Proposed Fire Prevention Fee Schedule for
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
Dear Mr. Marchesi:
Please review the attached fee schedule for form and appropriateness of the legal
authority cited relative to the imposition of fees for Fire Prevention services. Should any
authority cited be incorrect, please provide this office with the appropriate authority, which
allows or disallows the imposed fees'.
The attached exhibits are offered and intended to amend the fee schedule exhibits under
current Ordinance 2062-32. All fees;have been adjusted and updated to represent an
hourly rate of$160.00 for code enforcement inspections and $180.00 for plan review and
engineering services. All new items ;and items which have been reorganized or subdivided
are identified by reference number below.
Current Fire Cade Ordinance (2002-32) adopts by reference, "Fees for Plan Review,
Inspection, and Permits" current fee schedule Contra Costa County Ordinance (92-97).
The attached proposed fee schedules are hereby submitted to replace the current fee
schedule (92-97).
The attached fee schedule exhibits have been separated for convenience purposes since
there are essentially two separate fee rates. You will notice we have added new permit
and inspection categories. All significant modifications to the existing fee schedule and
new categories may require some clarification relative to intent. As a result, the following
is offered for your information:
SP 1.2.1 & SP 1.2.2 Carnivals/fairs',have always been in the fee schedule. The Fire
District has chosen to separate carnivals and fairs rather than maintain them under the
same permit because both events are different in operation. Many communities do not
have events that combined fairs with; carnivals. Some community leaders have expressed
issues with identifying a street fair as a carnival under our current permit processes.

SPE 1.4 When occupancies request a 180-day extension, an additional field inspection is
necessary to confirm that the use and operation still conforms to state regulations. This
additional field inspection typically takes about 1.0 hour, which is primarily travel and a
short-site visit confirming that life safety requirements are still being followed.
DRY 1.4 Fee added because many dry cleaning facilities have been switching cleaning
units/equipment, which requires confirmation that equipment is approved for specific use
and is properly installed in accordance with manufacturer's requirements and code
requirements. This inspection typically takes 1.5 to 20 hours of office and field time.
EXP 1.3 & 1.3.1 This fee has always been in the fee schedule and viewed as an
office/paperwork only process. The Fire Prevention Pureau has determined that once the
permit had been issued, there was no follow-up or site inspection conducted. With the use
of fuel-powered rocket engines, we felt it necessary to confirm the size of rockets being
fired and the types of propellants being used. Furthermore, we felt it important to review
the landing areas confirming that there was little chance of debris or grassland fires.
Finally, it is important to confirm wind direction and velocity, due to the fact that all areas
approved for firing these rockets are surrounded by residential homes.
ENG 2.3 Repair garages have always been identified in the fee schedules. The purpose
for identifying 9 + bays is that these facilities are more typically large auto dealers, which
require greater inspection site time.
INS 3.1 Jail cells have always been identified in the fee schedule. The department of
Justice (DOJ) now requires local fire jurisdictions' review and approval of police
departments' emergency evacuation procedures. Err'ergency procedures can be
evaluated at the same time that cells and the rest of the building are inspected.
APT 1.1 Apartments have always been inspected and have had inspection fees for the
time spent for the inspection. This fee is based on the inspection to be conducted by a
Fire Prevention Technician. The inspection would be[classified as a "nontechnical„
inspection. Nontechnical would be defined as an occupancy with two stories or less,
having direct exiting with no fire alarm or enclosed corridor systems.
APT 1.2 & APT 1.3 As stated above, apartments have always been inspected and have
had inspection fees for the time spent for the inspection. These apartments are typically
three (3) stories in height and are much more technical because of the presence of fire
alarm systems, exit corridors, and sometimes automatic fire suppression systems. This
inspection would be classified as a "technical" residential inspection. In an effort to more
fairly represent the actual inspection and travel time,!the Fire District has chosen to have a
base fee with a per--unit fee.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DiSTiRCT
FIRE PREVENTION FEE SCHEDULE
METHODOLOGY
The methodology for determining the hourly cost for Fire Prevention Services is as
follows:
1. Cost per Position was determined for all classifications within the District.
A. The base salary including uniform allowance and benefits added to the
to determine gross monthly pay. This figure was then multiplied by the
number of months (12) per year. This total was then multiplied by the
number of productive hours (1700) per year.
B. Management/Supervision productive rate was then broken down even
further by the percentage in which that position was involved within the
division.
II. Total yearly casts per Division within departments were calculated to
include costs per position, vehicle, space, and indirect administration
costs.
A. Total yearly cost per employee by Division was calculated.
1. Yearly cost per position
2. Vehicle cost
3. Space cost— square footage
4. Management/Supervision indirect costs
5. Division indirect costs
B. Cast per employee X's the number of employees in that class
within a division equaled cost per class per division. Cost per class
totaled by division equaled cost per division.

Calculations for Operating Vehicle Cosh
Average prices climb about 2¢ a mile over '02
Chicago Tribune
Apr. 17, 2003 12.04 AM
Most consumers thinly the cast of owning a car is simply the amount of their
monthly payment.
The AAA says that's only part of what it tapes to own and operate a vehicle
annually.
In its yearly study on vehicle costs, the AAA found that motorists pay an average
of 64.2 cents a mile, or $6,420 a year for 10,000 miles of motoring in a '03 model
car, up from 62.3 cents a mile, or$6,230 a year, for an '02 model.
Based on the size of your vehicle, it will cost you more or less: 55.3 cents a mile
for a compact car, 62.1 cents for a midsize car and 75.2 cents a mile for a full-size
2003. That's up from 53.4 cents, 60 cents and 73.6 cents, respectively.
Costs tame into account gas, oil, maintenance and tires, as well as insurance,
depreciation, financing charges, license, title and registration.
Although an increase to 55.3 cents from 53.4 cents doesn't seem like much,
consider that over the typical 10,000 miles of annual driving, that's $5,530 in '03,
up $190 from $5,340 in '02, to own and operate a compact such as a Chevy
Cavalier.
The cost for a midsize car, such as a Ford Taurus, rose to 62.1 cents a mile,
or$6,210 a year, for`03, from 60 cents a mule, or$6,000 a year, for 2002, a
$210 increase.
The cost to own and operate a full-size car, such as a Mercury Grand Marquis,
rose to 75.2 cents a mile, or$7,520 a year, from 73.6 cents a mile, or$7,360, a
year, a $160 increase.
The costs were actually higher because the AAA study was done when gasoline
averaged $1.46 per gallon for'03 and $1.19 a gallon for'02.

therefor. In unusual circumstances, the time limit prescribed in
this section may be extended by written notice by the head of the
agency or his or her designee to the person making the request,
