AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF TRACY TO CHARGE AND COLLECT FOR EMERGENCY FIRE PROTECTION FIRE SERVICES
The City of Tracy does ordain:
SECTION ONE: PURPOSES AND INTENT

It also includes the deployment of firefighting personnel and/or equipment to provide fire suppression, rescue, extrication, and any other services related to fire and rescue as may occasionally occur.
(B) “Fire service charge” means the charge imposed by the City for receiving fire service.
(C) “Motor vehicle” means any self-propelled vehicle designed and originally manufactured to operate primarily upon public roads and highways, and not operated exclusively upon railroad tracks. It includes semi-trailers. It does not include snowmobiles, manufactured homes, all-terrain vehicles, or park trailers.
(D) “Fire protection or service contract” means a contract between the City and a town, township, or other city for the City to provide fire service.

SECTION FOUR: RATES
The rates for fire services shall be set by the City’s fee schedule, unless otherwise set pursuant to Section Six or Seven.
SECTION FIVE: BILLING AND COLLECTION
(A) Parties receiving fire services will be billed directly by the City of Tracy within fourteen (14) days of the fire service. Additionally, if the party receiving fire services did not request services but a fire or other situation exists which, at the discretion of the fire department personnel in charge requires fire service, the party will be charged and billed. All parties will be billed whether or not the fire service is covered by insurance. Any billable amount of the fire charge not covered by a party’s insurance remains a debt of the party receiving the fire service.
(B) Parties billed for fire service will have thirty (30) days to pay. If the fire service charge is not paid by that time, it will be considered delinquent and the City will send a notice of delinquency.
(C) If the fire service charge remains unpaid for thirty (30) days after this notice of delinquency is sent, the City will use all practical and reasonable legal means to collect the fire service charge. The party receiving fire service shall be liable for all collection costs incurred by the City including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees and court costs.
(D) If the fire service charge remains unpaid for thirty (30) days after the notice of delinquency is sent, the City Council may also, on or before October 15 of each year, certify the unpaid fire service charge to the county auditor in which the recipient of the services owns real property for collection with taxes. The county auditor is responsible for remitting to the city all charges collected on behalf of the city. The City must give the property owner notice of its intent to certify the unpaid fire service charge by September 15.
(E) False alarms will be billed as a fire call.
