TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Owasso Sherry Bishop Assistant City Manager jav Aks I.;, ?f. 14V C1C Ordinance No. 1048 - Repealing Public Safety Capital Fund Fee February 13, 2015 BACKGROUND: On January 13, 2015, Owasso voters approved a sales tax rate increase to become effective on April 1, 2015. Previously, the City Council had approved Resolution 2014 -14 stating the Council's intent to amend the code of ordinances eliminating the public safety capital fund and reducing the monthly utility fee by $3.00, if the proposed i/2 cent sales tax increase was approved. Within the Owasso Code of Ordinances, Part 13, Public Safety; Chapter 2, Fire Department; Article C, Ambulance Service; Section 13 -236 establishes a $7.00 per month fee for water or sewer customers inside the city limits. Section 13 -237 establishes the Ambulance Service Fund, the Ambulance Capital Fund, and the Public Safety Capital Fund and defines the percentage of monies from that fee to each fund. Currently, ordinances distribute the $7.00 fee as follows: Fund Ambulance Service Fund Ambulance Capital Fund Public Safety Capital Fund Percentage Amount 50.0% $3.50 8.6% $0.60 41.4% $2.90 Elimination of the Public Safety Capital Fund and reduction of the fee by $3.00 would leave $4.00 to divide between the Ambulance Service Fund and the Ambulance Capital Fund. ORDINANCE NO. 1048: The attached ordinance would repeal the Public Safety Capital Fund and reduce the monthly fee from $7.00 to $4.00. The ordinance, if approved, would distribute the $4.00 fee as follows: Fund Percentage Amount Ambulance Service Fund 85% $3.40 Ambulance Capital Fund 15% $0.60 RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 1048 repealing the Public Safety Capital Fund and reducing the monthly fee by $3.00.
