COPIESI
Mayor Evlyn Wilcox
-------------------------------------------------------------
It is rHollmended that a fire inspection fee be instituted to
fund addit.onal personnel for the Fire Prevention Division of
the Fire Department. It is the responslb., ity of the Fire
Department to inspect all structures, except Single fami Iv
residences, in the City at least once each year. some
buildings require up to four inspections per year, depending
on the type of occupancy. With the increase in construction,
it has become impossible for the Fire Prevention Division to
conduct al I of the required inspections. Additional fire
inspectors have been requested at budget time during the last
five v-ears, to no avai I.
The ;ire inspection fee 101.1 I fund two inspectors ana one
clerk. The last time anll positions were added to the Fire
Prevention Division was in 1918. In 1982, a Fire Company
Inspection Program was started and currently the companies
make 5000 inspections per year in such occupancies as mult,-
fami Iy buildings, service stations, small markets and store-
front type businesses.
The additional personnel are necessary to maintain life
safety throughout the City. The personnel costs for the two
inspectors and one clerk wi I I be approximately 174,000 and
the funds generated by the fee schedule (see attached) is
approximately 115,000.
