PREVIOUS ACTION/PRESENTATION

On September 11, 2023, the Plano City Council passed Resolution No. 2023-9-1(R) approving the Fire Department Fee Schedule for fire inspection and fire plan review services.

BACKGROUND

On September 11, 2023, the Plano City Council passed Resolution No. 2023-9-1(R) approving the Fire Department Fee Schedule for fire inspection and fire plan review services.  It is necessary to increase the fees for fire inspection and fire plan review services to cover escalated operational costs.  Upon review and consideration, the City Council agrees that Resolution No. 2023-9-1(R) should be repealed and the revised Fee Schedule should be adopted and approved, and that a copy of the revised Fee Schedule should be on file with the Fire Department and made available to the public upon request.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY/STRATEGIC GOALS

Approval of this item will increase the inspection fees for Fire Prevention and Protection. While there will likely be a change in revenues collected as result of these updates, the exact amount of additional revenue to be collected is indeterminable due to the unknown number of future inspections.

 

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
