Segundo Municipal Code (`SSMC ").

amend fees for services.
C. The City Council finds that it is advisable for the City Manager, or designee, to
promulgate and implement administrative policies and procedures for inspection
routines and scheduling in order to provide greater flexibility to obtain compliance
and ensure uniformity in inspection procedures.
D. Nothing in this Resolution is intended to, nor will it, alter the manner in which the
City Council adopts inspection fees. 'However, this Resolution will give authority
to the City Manager, or designee, to determine procedures for the collection of
such inspection fees.
E. Pursuant to Government Code § 66016, the City made data available regarding the
cost, or estimated cost, of providing the fire inspection services ten days before the
public hearing held on September 3, 2002.
F. On September 3, 2002, the City Council heard public testimony and considered
evidence in a public hearing held and noticed in accordance with Government Code
§ 66016.
G. At the recommendation of the Fire Department, the City Council believes that it is
in the public interest to establish consistent annual fire inspections and permit
fees. It also is in the public interest to recover the costs of conducting State
mandated inspections of underground tanks and hazardous wastes.
