Work Session Agenda 2003-10-13 4 Rev. 01:10/13/03 I CLEARWATER FIRE & RESCUE Fire, Life Safety, & Emergency Management Division Oflice of the Fire Marshal Phone 727.562.4327 Fax 727.562.4461 * With regards to the proposed October 2003 revisions of City Ordinance NO. 7163-03 the reasoning for the changes to or deletion of the verbiage in the following Sections is as follows: Sec. 17.06. Fireworks displays and open fires: 1. (1) (a) due to a change in the verbiage in the State Statute bringing our Ordinance into compliance. 2. (2) (a) due to a change in the verbiage in the State Statute bringing our Ordinance into compliance. 3. (4) Dropping the Fee for the Open Fire Permit since it was only $22.50 and cost more to collect and account for then real expenses and due to not many are requested any more each year, In the past year only 3 were requested all were issued and they were for non-profit organizations i.e, YMCA and Churches, which did inquire about having the fees waived, but we did not have the authority by ordinance to waive the fees. Sec. 17.32. Adoption of National Fire Codes. 1. (1) Deletes verbiage related the to the antiquated terminology of adopting the National Fire Codes and adds the appropriate verbiage addressing the adopting of the FLORIDA FIRE PREVENTION CODE, Within the Florida Fire Prevention Code State Statute adopts the National Fire Code as the applicable code, Section 9. Section 17.33, Code Of Ordinances is hereby deleted in its entirety: Sec~ 17.33. Amendments. This occurs since the present amendments are now addressed in verbiage within the Florida Fire Prevention, and thus the deletion will make the city compliant with the Florida Fire Prevention Code I Clearwater Fire & Rescue * Summary Overview Ordinance Revisions to Chapters 5 & 17 . Each member of the Commission has been provided a briefing on the proposed changes to both Chapter #5 (Fire Alarms) and Chapter #17 (Fire Prevention). . Comparison Data is attached in the form of an E.'Xcel spreadsheet representing local and regional municipalities that may / or may not, be similar in business practice. Chapter #5- False Alanns \X'ithin the current language of the existing Chapter- 5 ordinance, a 522.50 fee can be utilized to provide an incentive to deter unnecessary alarm activity. The administrative costs incurred to track, analyze, notify and collect this fee amount is currently cost prohibitive. Monon Plant Hospital has 16 total alarms in this calendar year (through October 02, 2003). Fire Oftlcials and Hospital Staff have met to discuss the impact of the proposed fee schedule and they understand and support this effort (Mr. Hal Ziecheck and Mr. Ed Smollick). Fees will only be assessed on tJfel,ul/able false alarms. , . Chapter #17- Fire Prevention Language is cleaned up to be compliant with Statutory changes at the State level. Proposal to delete the Open Fire Permit fee (not the permit itsclf..... only the fee), since typical users are non-profits and there is no current tool available to waive the charges. Deletion of language indicating amendments to the Florida Fire prevention Code. The City no longer needs to adopt amendments to this Code, which will eliminate potential confusion to our redevelopment efforts. Fees schedule proposed ,,,ill only assess charges to those commercial occupancies who do not intend to comply with written Life Safety Code (Authority directly from State Statute). Initial inspections and follow-up will continue to be provided at no cost to the business owner. Fee schedule only applies to continual reinspections due to customer complaints and/ or the lack of the if/lent 10 ronrpp by owner, Please note that St. Petersburg charges for all inspection activity, regardless of compliance issues. . Fire Officials have scheduled a meeting with the Chamber of Commerce, (Ms. Katie Cole) on Monday, October 6, 2003 to discuss the specific details of both ordinance proposals. We currently have tentative support from the Chamber and expect a letter to be drafted indicating same before the scheduled work session.

Home II, aty 11anager Mahshid Ar.lsteh, P.E., Public Works Administrator Garry Brumback, Asst. City Manager 11ichael Quillen, P.E., City Engineer Paul Benels, Traffic Operations Manager Thru: From: Date: October 9, 2003 RE: Street Light Cost Comparisons The Grovewood Homeowner's Association had requested the city provide decorative street lighting along Grovewood Road. Specifically, they wanted twelve standard street lights replaced with twelve decorative Flagler lights mounted on decorative Washington poles. The cost forthe new lights would be $396.18 per month as opposed to the current cost of $72.12 per month for the standard roadway lights in service at this tUne. This represents a cost increase of 449% and creates a precedent for other neighborhoods as 'well. In response to a lener from the city denying this request due to the cost and precedent that would be set the Grovewood Homeowner's association has proposed a compromise. Their proposal is to install one double fL'\"tUre and one single fD..'ture in the entrance median to Grovewood and they would be willing to pay the cost for the first two years. That cost would be $1787.04. On a monthly basis the cost for this request is 592.49 per month versus the current cost of $18.03 per month. 1he following facts are imponant points to be considered regarding the city street lighting policy. - The city provides standard roadway lighting on all residential streets at no cost to the residents. The streets are illuminated to IES (Illuminating Engineers Society) standards. -The st.wdaro cost for roadway lighting is $5.85 or $7.91 per light per month depending upon whether it is overhead or underground fed with a pole rental charge ranging from $1.66 to $3.86 per month per pole wood or concrete respectively. . Decor.ative street lights range in cost from $ 9.19 to $1855 per month. The decomtive poles range in cost from $6.87 to $20.73 per month. · The de<:omtive lights and poles come in many combinations and it is therefore very difficult to make comp.\risons with our existing lighting costs. Ho'wever, comparing the least expensive decor..\uve light ($9.19) on the least e~-pensive decorative pole ($6.87) there is a 113 .8% increase in cost ~r light per month compared with the least expensive standard roadway light. . All of these costs are based on 100- \Van lights, which are the standard in residential areas. . Allowing one neighborhood to have decorative lights and poles will set a precedent for all ncigh~)rhoods with the result in higher street lighting costs.

The basic issue is how to cover the increased cost of decorative lighting without adding burden to the residents of the city who are satisfied with the lighting that is currently provided by the city. In addition to the direct cost burden there is also the increased cost to administer any of the program that may be adopted. Bottom Line: The policy issue is should the city provide decorative street lighting for . neighborhoods that request it at city expense. . ~!'~earwater l-- ..

The City has separate general authority under its home rule powers to adopt more restrictive watering limitations in order to further water conservation goals. At a later time the City may wish to amend Section 32.153 in order to omit now dated language relating to past SWFWMD Orders; however, this is a "housekeeping" matter and does not affect pursuit of the above one-day-per-week approach. ---OrIginal Message----- 1 From: AkIn, Pam Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 1:52 PM To: Dougall-Sides, Leslie Subject: FW: 10/13/03 Work Session Follow up -----Original Message---- From: Goudeau, Cyndie Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 8:56 AM To: AkIn, Pam; Neff, Andrew Cc: Brumback, Gany; Norman, Lois Subject: 10/13/03 Work Session Follow up REminder - need to provide information re impact of SWFWMD orders on ability to establish and enforce more restrictive water restrictions. eYl/die 2
