Mr. Sapp appeared to ask that Council consider the continuation of the

currently in place in the Department.
Ms. Weber stated that problems still exist with the broker system in the area of
child care and asked that Council look into the problem.
4. Residential False Alarm Permit Fee Options (I.R. No. 7301) - Rod Bremby,
Assistant to the City Manager
a) Amendments to Chapter 12 of the City Code, Emergency Reporting Equipment
Procedures (False Alarm Ordinance) (M&C G-7625-Revised)
Mr. Brembv distributed material to the Council showing five options, A through
E, to deal with false alarms. He advised Council that staff recommends either
option A or option B. Option D could be adopted, however, due to differential
treatment between businesses and residents, a suit could result unless the city
can show a rational argument as to why the treatment should be different.
The consensus among the Council Members was for option D as long as the legal
problems can be worked out.
Council directed the City Attorney's office to look into the question of the
options legality.
