Ordinance Adding Chapter 13-33 to the El Segundo Municipal Code to Enable Reasonable City Cost Recovery for Excessive False Fire Alarm Responses 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.)
