Department: Attachments: Budget Impact: Police Ordinance No. 6303
Administrative Recommendation:
Approve and forward to full Council for acceptance.
Background Summary:
The original Ordinance included language that stipulated when an appeal was made for false alarm
charges a fee of $25.00 would be charged. It is recognized that the City incurs no additional expense to accommodate an appeal related to false alarm charges and that the application
of such a fee may be
detrimental in that it may preclude entities from filing an appeal. This Ordinance adjusts the fee schedule
to eliminate the fee for filing an appeal.
