Discussion of Waterloo Fire Rescue Fees.
Chief Beck presented three ideas as possible methods of cost recovery for Waterloo Fire Rescue. He explained Waterloo Fire
Rescue's involvement in each of the three services and reviewed the proposed fees through an ordinance he plans to submit
for council approval at the next meeting. Re further explained that the collection of unpaid lees would run through the current
collection agency.
He proposed that a flat fee of $500 is assessed to the owner of a vehicle fire, not due to a motor vehicle accident or arson, where
Waterloo Fire Rescue responds. This Is the typical maximum amount payable by private auto insurance policies tor fire department
tees. For vehicles not covered with comprehensive care, he would like to have the ability, as chief, to waive the fee for underinsured
or self -insured drivers who meet financial hardship guidelines set by Waterloo Fire Rescue.
Chief Beck also proposed an increase In fees for the use of an absorbent by Waterloo Fire Rescue personnel for the mtfigation of
engine fluid spills. This increase would be from $75 to $150 per 40 pound bag.
The third increase would be for fees associated with Commercial Building Fires. These updated prices will be the first Increase
since 2001. The current minimum fee for service is $500, with rights for the chief to waive It. He Is proposing to set fixed "per hour"
rates of $170 for the Command Vehicle: $450 forthe Aerial Device; $270 for the Engine/Rescue Truck and $350 for an Ambulance.
He would also Increase the minimum charge to $1,100.
