end

Background and Discussion:
Currently, all security devices permitted in county right of way are assessed a fee. Use of these devices by government entities improves the safety for the general public and should not be charged for permitting them in county right of way.

Expected Impact:
The fee exemption will only apply to government entities. Homeowner Associations and other groups not meeting the definition by Government Code 2252.001 are not exempt.

Alternative Options:
Continue to charge fees to government entities creating an unnecessary burden on public funding of security devices.


Alignment with Goal(s):
X Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
X Governance and Customer Service
