PROPOSED NEW MISCELLANEOUS FEES <br />FIRE DEPARTMENT <br />1) Special Event Paramedic Standby <br />Proposed Fee: Varies results in a $494.60 base rate plus additional hourly amounts. <br />Paramedics (2) per unit <br />• Four hour minimum <br />$49 per hour per paramedic <br />Administration Costs <br />• Two hour minimum <br />Maintenance/Fuel Costs <br />• Four hour minimum <br />$45 per hour <br />$3.15 per hour <br />Explanation: Frequently the Fire Department is asked to provide a Standby Paramedic Unit. <br />Most often, it is an insurance requirement for sporting events throughout our public parks, <br />Stadium and occasionally public venues. The requirement usually requires that the unit be out of <br />service to the community and on total standby for medical aid and possibly transport depending <br />on the nature of the incident. It is not feasible or appropriate to render SAFD paramedic units out <br />of service for long periods of time therefore, we recommend instituting a cost recovery fee for <br />staff overtime paramedics on a reserve medic unit plus administrative arrangements to assist with <br />standby requests. <br />POLICE DEPARTMENT <br />2) Inmate Cash Card Fee <br />Proposed Fee: $1.50 <br />Explanation: Upon release from the Santa Ana Detention Facility, the inmate may choose to have <br />their remaining commissary money returned to them via a Cash (Debit) Card instead of the <br />regular check. If the Cash Card is requested, this fee will cover the actual banking cost associated <br />with the issuance of such a card. This fee will be taken from the balance remaining in the inmates <br />commissary account. <br />83
