TITLE:
Title
Ordinance to Amend the Albemarle County Fire and Rescue Office of the Fire Marshal Fee Schedule
BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Public hearing to consider an ordinance to amend the Fire Marshal fee schedule to include homestay inspection fees
ITEM TYPE: Regular Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Richardson, Walker, Kamptner, Farley, Eggleston, Lagomarsino
PRESENTER (S): Greg Kamptner
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: In 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted a schedule for fees that the Fire Marshal’s Office may charge for its inspection services. The proposed amendment would add a fee of $50.00 to inspect annually any location that qualifies as a “homestay.”
STRATEGIC PLAN: Quality Government Operations. Ensure County government’s capacity to provide high quality service that achieves community priorities.
DISCUSSION: Consideration of this ordinance should be made parallel to ZTA2017-01 (“Homestay Zoning Ordinance Amendments”), also to be considered by the Board on August 7.
BUDGET IMPACT: The proposed $50.00 homestay inspection fee correlates to the fee for an inspection/review program similar to this one. The fee would be utilized to off-set the cost of additional part-time staffing, overtime costs, or an FTE to help address the impact to staff capacity.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Ordinance (Attachment A).
