EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 4, 2022
PAGE 3
(Fiscal Impact: The proposed Ordinance would enable the City's cost recovery
for excessive fire false alarm calls. The El Segundo Fire Department ("ESFD")
will present a fee resolution on October 18, 2022 (or as soon thereafter as may
be considered) to the City Council to modify an existing false alarm fee that
ESFD included with the recently adopted Master Fee Schedule. The adopted fee
allowed the City to collect ESFD costs after three (3) false alarms, but the
proposed amendment will conform with the Ordinance to allow City cost recovery
after the first two false alarms. City staff anticipates the Ordinance will cause
most alarm system owners to be more responsible in maintaining their systems
in proper working order, requiring a lower number of responses. Pursuant to
California Constitution article XIIIC, § 1(e)(3), the fees authorized through the
Ordinance do not constitute a "tax" as they concern City regulation enforcement
and investigation performance associated with a regulatory program.)
Deena Lee, Fire Chief reported and answered questions on the item.
