RILEY TITLE A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PERMIT, INSPECTION AND PLAN REVIEW FEES REQUIRED UNDER CHAPTER 2 OF TITLE III OF THE PUEBLO MUNICIPAL CODE AND THE 2003 INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE ISSUE Should City Council adopt this resolution setting the permit inspection and plan review fee schedule required under Chapter 2 of Title III of the Pueblo Municipal Code and the 2003 International Fire Code? RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Resolution BACKGROUND On September 14, 2009, City Council passed an ordinance amending Chapter 2 of Title III of the Municipal Code relating to the Fire Code, modifying the 2009 International Fire Code, as adopted and amended and establishing permit fees for required operational and construction permits. This resolution sets the fee schedule for the annual operational permits. It also sets the construction permit fees associated with each construction permit required by Section 105.7 of the International Fire Code. The resolution sets the Plan Review Fee for reviewing construction plans for compliance with the International Fire Code for all occupancies except R -3 (which is one and two family dwellings and child care facilities that provide accommodation for five or fewer persons of any age for less than 24 hours). This resolution also sets inspection and re- inspection fees required for special inspections for new businesses and sales tax, etc. This resolution does not establish fees for fire company inspections which are performed to ensure compliance with the International Fire Code 2003. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City currently subsidizes activities requiring permits under the Fire Code by performing necessary Fire Department services without charge. After adoption of this fee schedule, the fees will increase city revenues by approximately $150,000., and decrease the subsidy provided to permitted activities under the Fire Code.
