Explanation
BACKGROUND:

It is the intent of the Division of Fire, Bureau of Fire Prevention to set fees for inspections, services, and plan review established by Ordinance 2049-95, to reflect costs associated with providing these services. The existing fee structure was reviewed, some new fees proposed and existing fees increased to reflect these costs.

FISCAL IMPACT: Revised and new fees more accurately reflect the Fire Division's costs associated with providing these services. And in some cases will result in the Division recovering overtime costs associated with these services for the General Fund.

Title
To amend various sections of the City of Columbus Fire Prevention Code (Title Twenty-five), relating to the fees charged for plan review, inspections, and other services. (REPEALED BY ORD. 1446-2007 PASSED 9/10/2007)

Whereas, an emergency exists in the usual daily operation of the Division of Fire, Department of Public Safety in that all services associated with the development process and other special inspections and services rendered by the Division of Fire, are outdated; Now, therefore,
