DISCUSSION OF ALARM PERMIT FEES Mayor Brownrigg advised that this item will be a part of the master fee schedule staff report that will be presented to Council at the next meeting, but the City Manager wanted to make sure the Council had a discussion in advance of that meeting. COP Wood reviewed the staff report and requested Council provide direction concerning the appropriate cost of annual alarm permits in the City in order to ensure that the fees collected cover only the costs of City staff time needed to process the permits. COP Wood advised that there are currently 1700 alarm permits for both residential and commercial customers. Chief Wood presented background of the alarm program, reviewed the City ordinance governing alarm systems, and the costs associated with processing annual alarm permits. Chief Wood advised if a change was made to the alarm permit fees it would be incorporated into the master fee schedule at the next meeting, and the ordinance would need to be amended. Councilwoman Keighran spoke and said she finds it unfair to the residents, who spend money to install an alarm system in their homes,pay a monthly fee for the alarm system, and then have to pay a yearly fee to the City. She supports an initial fee when the alarm is installed and to pay for false alarms but does not agree with the yearly fee that is currently imposed by the City. There was follow up Council discussion and questions and CA Kane advised that since this is a fee and not a penalty, the City cannot charge more than the cost of providing the service. Mayor Brownrigg opened the item for public comment, and there were no comments. Vice Mayor Nagel made a motion to reduce the annual alarm fee to $32.00; seconded by Mayor Brownrigg. Mayor Brownrigg called for a roll call vote and the motion was approved 4-1 with Councilwoman Keighran voting no. 4 Burlingame City Council April 21,2014 Approved Minutes 11.
