PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to restructuring the
Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act fee categories in the Los Angeles
Fire Department Certified Unified Program Agency Schedule of Cost of
Special Services and related amendments to the Fire Code.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. APPROVE the proposed Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act
fee category structure as detailed in the Board of Fire
Commissioners report dated August 6, 2026.
2. REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present an
Ordinance adding and/or amending provisions of the Los
Angeles Municipal Code, Chapter 5, Article 7, to implement the
revised Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act fee category
structure.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The Board of Fire Commissioners reports
that the proposed Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act fee category
restructuring has no fiscal impact and maintains full revenue
neutrality. The restructuring improves alignment between fee
classifications and regulatory workload drivers, enhances
transparency, strengthens cost-recovery defensibility, and improves
tracking and reporting efficiency. Neither the City Administrative
Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial
analysis of this report.
