COUZZO, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: JAMES M. WEINAND, FIRE CHIEF SUBJECT: PERMIT FEE ADJUSTMENT DATE: 03/29/2006 I am requesting this item be placed on the April, 13, 2006 Village Council Agenda for their consideration. In accordance with Section 34-63 of the Village Code of Ordinances, a fee shall be imposed by the Village for each fire inspection performed. The current fee schedule has not been increased since the establishment of this Department in 1993. The current minimum inspection fee is $35.00; I am requesting that this minimum fee be adjusted to $50.00. I feel that this is a modest adjustment and is less than an annual 3o CPI adjustment rate. In addition to the annual fire inspection fee adjustments, I am recommending adjusting our new construction permit fees. The proposed fee schedule has been revised to coincide with the new format proposed by the Community Development Department, square footage cost verses construction value charge. I am proposing that the following new fees be added to the list of charges. l. Review of Fire and/or Disaster Operational Plans -$50.00. 2. Any locked or blocked exit door will be an immediate fine of $75.00. � 3. The Department of Fire-Rescue services shall charge $85.00 per hour for all consultations such as pre-permit meetings, bidding confe�ences, conceptual design reviews, DRC review and/or conferences. The minimum charge shall be $125.00. 4. I have also included an annual inspection fee for multi-family residential occupancies. There are currently no fees charged for inspections of this type of property. These multi-family residential inspections are very time consuming, especially the high rise condominiums on the beach. I am proposing that the inspection fees be adjusted annually. Attached is a Resolution for your consideration.
