CITY ADMIN
RE: A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Vernon Adopting an Amended
and Restated General Fee Schedule
Recommendation
A. Find that approval of the resolution proposed in this staff report is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with Section
15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have a
significant effect on the environment; and
B. Adopt the attached resolution adopting an amended and restated General Fee Schedule, to
remove the word "Security" off the billing title for False Alarms, as proposed on Exhibit
A, page 16.
Backaround
On July 1, 2014 the City of Vernon City Council approved and adopted a city-wide General Fee
Schedule via Resolution No. 2014-42, as amended on August 5, 2014 by Resolution No. 2014-
50. Among other things, the General Fee Schedule includes a fee to defray a portion of the
Vernon Fire Department's costs of responding to false alarms.I
A correction is needed on Exhibit A of the General Fee Schedule, to correct the billing title for
False Alarms under the Fire Prevention Fees section. To be consistent with the California Fire
Code and the Vernon Municipal Code, Section 104.12(b), the Fire Department recommends the
Vernon Municipal Code Section 114.1(r) defines False Alarm as "the willful and knowing
initiation or transmission of a signal, message or other notification of an event of fire when no
such danger exist, or the activation of any fire alarm system due to malfunction, mechanical or
electrical defect, improper operation or procedure by any person, or a false oral, or written report
to any department of the City of Vernon that an emergency exists requiring immediate or
emergency response by the Vernon Fire Department".

name be changed from False Security Alarm to False Alarm. Removing the word "Security"
from the billing title will help alleviate confusion that business owners and operators have
expressed in light of the fact that the Vernon Police Department uses the same terminology in its
billing.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed modification to the General Fee Schedule.
