body
Statement of Issue: Staff recommends adjusting false alarm fees. This resubmission is at the request of the City Council to lower false alarm fees for senior citizens consistent with other reduced City fees for seniors.
Financial Impact: The recommended Resolution lowers the threshold at which false alarm fees are issued and establishes new fees for false alarms for those without an alarm permit. Alarm permits and false alarm fees generate approximately $400,000 in annual revenue in the General Fund. Staff is recommending to increase, decrease and add new fines. Minimal changes are expected to revenues as a result of the proposed changes to the false alarm fees.
