CC - Reduction of water heater installation permit fees - internal Files 023 1.
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: OCTOBER 19, 1994
RE: REDUCTION OF WATER HEATER
INSTALLATION PERMIT FEES
Staff has completed both a review of recent water heater permit activity in the City and
a survey of water heater permit fees for all cities in Los Angeles County. The City's
current fee of $40.65 ($15.00 per water heater plus $25.65 issuance fee) is consistent with
what other cities charge and is adequate to recover the City's cost in providing the
necessary inspections. However, to encourage property owners to obtain permits and
required inspections, staff is recommending reducing the fee to the $25.65 issuance fee
only. This is a 37-percent reduction in permit costs to the homeowners. The financial
impact to the City of lost revenue with this reduction of fees is estimated at a minimum
of $600 up to $2,000 per year depending on the number of permits issued. This requires
an ordinance change. An ordinance, reducing the fee, is attached for your consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council waive further reading and introduce Ordinance No. 750.

Mayor Pro Tern Taylor stated that he still opposes the walkway being built on the
eastside of the park as that would interfere with the young kids playing in that area. Mr.
Taylor stated further that the walkway would serve the same purpose if it was built on the
south side of the park.
Mayor Bruesch questioned the necessity of the walkway.

that walkways be built at the fort play area for handicapped accessibility for wheelchairs.
