Fire Protection Plans

[Council Communication]  [Attachments]

Council Communication
Title: An Ordinance Creating New Sections 15.28.150 and 15.28.160 of the Ashland Municipal Code to Provide Fees for the Uniform Fire Code Plan Review and Inspections Be Set by Resolution
Dept: Ashland Fire & Rescue
Date: March 16, 2004
Submitted By: David K. Hard, Assistant Fire Chief/Fire Marshal
Keith E. Woodley, Fire Chief
Approved By:
...........................		 Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator
Paul Nolte, City Attorney

Synopsis: This ordinance allows the establishment of fire protection plans review and inspection fees by resolution.
Recommendation: Adopt the proposed ordinance for Ashland Fire & Rescue fire protection plans review and inspection program. Provide an opportunity for public comment pursuant to ORS 294.160 when the resolution setting the fees is adopted by Council.
Fiscal Impact: Fire protection plans review and inspection fees, when adopted, will generate revenue to recover 50% of the cost of new position.
Background: Ashland Fire & Rescue provides fire protection plans review and related inspections in support of building codes and Uniform Fire Code requirements within the City of Ashland. These code enforcement activities have been largely carried out by the Assistant Fire Chief/Fire Marshal. Activity within this program area has experienced a steady increase for several years. At budget time last Spring we were experiencing a 14 to 20 day turn-around for plans review actions within the fire department. Effective July 1, 2003, the fire department is funding an additional position of Fire Prevention Officer to address workload issues within this program area. As a result of this additional position, our current turn-around average on plans review is five working days. The Budget Committee directed staff to seek partial cost recovery of these services through the adoption of a fee schedule. The attached fee schedule will be proposed to the Council for adoption when the attached ordinance, which allows the fees to be set by resolution, becomes effective.
