Discuss alarm permits fee increase - K. Adcox <br /> <br />Police Chief Kenith Adcox provided City Council with an overview of the plan to <br />increase alarm permit fees. <br /> <br />Council directed staff to pursue this in the future and give the public ample <br />notification. Council noted they did not feel the public had enough notice in <br />advance that they would be receiving a fee increase in addition to not having <br />enough time to properly study and act on this item if it had to be in place by <br />October 1,2009. <br /> <br />Council directed staff to determine if fees could be temporarily waived until such <br />time another option could be worked out to implement this program later in the <br />year. <br /> <br />In addition, council directed staff to further focus on improving the alarm system as <br />it currently exists and determine if the recommended program could be <br />implemented at a future date with other options. <br /> <br />Council informed staff this item was given to them without enough notice to make <br />a decision by October 1,2009. <br /> <br />13.
