RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance repealing and replacing Culver City Municipal Code Chapter 11.04, Alarm Systems (Attachment 1).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At its meeting of August 8, 2016, the City Council (by a vote of 5-0) introduced, for first reading, an Ordinance repealing and replacing Culver City Municipal Code Chapter 11.04, Alarm Systems.
The Ordinance is presented this evening for adoption.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Fees collected for alarm permits and excessive false alarms in FY 2015-2016 were approximately $207,000.00. Staff estimates the projected revenue in FY 2016-2017 might slightly increase then level off as the community becomes accustomed to the new Alarm Ordinance and are educated on the prevention of false alarms. The increased amount is unknown at this time. Staff will educate and work with non-permit holders, habitual offenders and the alarm companies to obtain compliance with the Alarm Ordinance. With that in mind, future fiscal year revenues may decrease, and then level off as the community becomes accustomed to the Alarm Ordinance.
