FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: ORANGE COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY FIRE PREVENTION FEE RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Resolution .No. 97-82, amending and
restating Resolution No. 91-56, which establishes the Orange County
Fire Authority as the responsible agency for setting fire
prevention fees for the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of Resolution No. 97-82 will not create any new City fees.
This resolution will preserve the City administration fees related
to the processing of plans and projects by the City for the Fire
Authority' These administration fees are restated from Resolution
No. 91-56 and do not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of
providing such services.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On May 20, 1991, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 91-56,
which enacted fees for fire prevention services provided by the
Orange County Fire Department. Resolution No. 91-56 also
established a City of Tustin Administration Fee applicable to fire
projects and plans the City processed on behalf of the Fire
Department.
The Orange County Fire Department was transformed into the Orange
County Fire Authority effective March 1, 1995. The Orange County
Fire Authority continued to operate under the fee schedule adopted
in Resolution No. 91-56 until July 1, 1997. The Orange County Fire
City Council Report

Authority contracted with David M. Griffith & Associates to conduct
an extensive fee study. That fee study resulted in the revised fee
schedule that became effective July 1, 1997, for fire prevention
services. As such, it would be appropriate for the City to adopt
Resolution No. 97-82 restating and reaffirming the provisions of
Resolution No. 91-56 and acknowledge the change in legal authority
from Orange County Fire Department to Orange County Fire Authority.

FIRE PREVENTION FEE PROJECT, 7-1-97
Facts and Figures
BA CKGR 0 UND
The Board of Directors of the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) directed staff to work with the
cbnsulting firm of David M_ Griffith and Associates (DMG) in order to .revise fire prevention fees. The
objective is to recover only the costs of providing the user fee-related services. As a result of the fee study, the
Board adopted a new fee schedule, to be effective July 1, 1997. The last schedule of fire prevention fees was
adopted in 199 l, and there have been no adjustments made since that time. In the future, the OCFA fee
schedule will be reviewed and revised every three years, during the adoption process for the Uniform Fire
Code..
DMG made a number of recommendations to OCFA to maximize the recovery of fire prevention user
fees. The Board adopted these recommendations, including a change in how Planning and Development fees
are recovered~ Instead of collecting fees AFrER plans have been reviewed, these fees will be recovered IN
ADVANCE. This will help to eliminate the plans which OCFA reviews but are NEVER PICKED UP
(estimated at about 1 $% of all plan reviews). No fees were Collected on those plans, even though the work
was performe& This has adversely affected turnaround times, overall revenue collected and, as a result, ability
to hire or contract for additional staff to get the work done. We need the helpof all member jurisdictions in
implementing this aspect of the new fee schedule.
A comerstone of the new fees is that they are based on actual costs for the services. Costs have been
documented based on many improvements in our automated systems and records since the old fee schedule
was developed in 1991. Interestingly, not all the fees will increase under the new schedule-over 10% of the
fees will decrease.. Many of the decreases are in'the area of Uniform Fire Code Permits. A brief summary of-
the planning and Development fees is outlined below.
pLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
New Fees:
· For 3,300 plans annually, new fees will range from :5;82 to I;174. Examples include CEQA
documents, conditional use permits, tract maps and fuel modifications.
