Section 11. Section 11-13 of Chapter 11 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is hereby added to read as follows: Sec. 11-13. Extraordinary Calls for Service Cost Recovery Fee (a) Any establishment obtaining a dance permit shall be charged a cost recovery fee in addition to the dance permit fee for recovery of costs generated by extraordinary calls for service by these establishments. The amount of the cost recovery fee shall be determined by the Chief of Police and adopted by resolution into the City fee schedule. (b) Additionally, establishments with a dance permit will be charged for any police related service hours that are 25% above the baseline number of service hours for said establishment, as determined by the Chief of Police. The baseline will be determined by the number of service hours incurred by the Police Department in response to calls for service to the establishment during the first twelve (12) months of operation with the dance permit. Any establishment with a dance permit that generates a 50% increase in police related service hours above the baseline number of service hours for said establishment, as determined by the Chief of Police, will require reimbursement for the additional service hours and initiate a formal review of the operation by the Chief of Police, at which time the Chief of Police may decide to condition, suspend, or revoke the subject dance permit. (c) The Extraordinary Calls for Service Cost Recovery Fee shall be assessed to any establishment obtaining a dance permit at the time of obtaining said dance permit and each time said dance permit is renewed. In addition, the Police Department will conduct a review every six (6) to twelve (12) months after the yearly anniversary of the initial issuance date of the dance permit to determine if additional fees have been incurred for service hours generated at the establishment that are 25% or more than the baseline set for the establishment. Further, all fees must be paid as a condition of issuance of a dance permit. Failure to pay fees may result in the rejection, suspension, or revocation of the dance permit at the discretion of the Chief of Police. Section 12. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
