body
BACKGROUND:
This item was approved on First Reading at the August 11, 2016, Commission Meeting.
Ordinance No. 2000-21, as amended by Ordinance No. 2007-020 and Ordinance 2010-026, relating to the provision of fire protection services, currently does not include a procedure to reclassify, correct, or revise fire assessments for individual tax parcels. In addition, the current Ordinance does not provide for application of multiple property use categories for tax parcels with mixed uses.
DISCUSSION:
Currently, there are no procedures in place to make adjustments to fire assessments based on errors or omissions. This Ordinance will provide for a procedure to reclassify, correct, or revise the Fire Protection Services Assessment for individual tax parcels that were applied incorrectly or omitted from the Fire Protection Services Assessment Roll.
In addition, there is no provision to allow for reclassifications of property use categories for tax parcels with mixed uses. The City would like to add such a provision to allow for proper apportionment of costs to each property.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this Ordinance.
