Thank you for your work.
Commissioner Hertz.
Sure.
So when we're talking about the fire assessment fee going up to $444,000, again, I haven't seen the cost study that supports that.
So assuming when we're looking at this, what portion of the new fire stations that are being constructed goes into that increase up to $444,000?
444 REPRESENTS FULL COST RECOVERY FOR THE FIRE ASSESSMENT.
IT WILL GENERATE ABOUT $8.4 MILLION IN REVENUE, OF WHICH WE ANTICIPATE NEEDING ABOUT 7.8 FOR THE HOLIDAY PARK FIRE STATION.
OKAY.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT CAPTURING ANY OF THE EMS COST IN THAT.
THAT'S ALL.
NO.
AND THE BOARD ALSO FELT THAT BY THE INCREASE, IT'S MORE TRANSPARENT TO THE TAXPAYER.
ON THE FIRE ASSESSMENT AND FULL COST RECOVERY.
AS YOU KNOW, THE OFFICIAL STUDY IS DONE EVERY THREE YEARS, BUT INTERNALLY THEY LOOK AT FULL COST RECOVERY EVERY YEAR.
UNDERSTOOD, BILL.
MY ONLY QUESTION IS JUST TO STAFF MAKING SURE THAT AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS, AS YOU PROBABLY ARE AWARE, WE CANNOT CAPTURE THE COST OF EMS IN THE FIRE ASSESSMENT FEE.
WE CAN CAPTURE
CERTAIN COSTS, IT HAS TO RELATE TO THE VALUE OF PROPERTY.
AND SO AS WE'RE ADDING NEW FACILITIES, I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT PORTION OF NEW FACILITIES IS BEING BAKED INTO THIS OR IS THIS STRICTLY OPERATIONAL COST?
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IS THERE A CAPITAL OVERHEAD COST?
