Redondo Beach City Council to Consider New Fees on Business

On April 17, 2007 the Redondo Beach City Council will hold a public hearing to consider the adoption of two ordinances that would allow the City to collect fees to cover the cots of two State mandate inspection programs.

Redondo Beach City Council Chambers

415 Diamond Street

If the City Council adopts the ordinances, a follow-up public hearing will be held on June 5, 2007 to discuss the actual fees to be assessed.

One fee would recover the costs of inspecting businesses designated in the City’s Municipal National Pollution Discharge Elimination permit as “Critcal Sources of Pollution.” Businesses such as restaurants, gas stations, auto services, and dry cleaners will be affected.

A second fee would recover the costs of inspecting businesses required by the State’s new regulation dealing with sewer system overflows. This regulation mandates that the City implement a Fats’ Oils, and Grease reduction program, requiring the inspection of businesses such as restaurants and car washes.
