[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of
Parkside as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
[Adopted 11-16-2016 by Ord. No. 531]
The Parkside Fire Company is hereby empowered to create and
initiate user fees for the delivery of fire and rescue services, personnel,
supplies and equipment to the scene of motor vehicle accidents and
other incidents upon the highways and roadways of Parkside Borough.
The rate of user fees shall be limited to that which is usual, customary
and reasonable for the provision of such services in Delaware County.
The aforementioned user fee shall be filed against the motor
vehicle insurance of the recipient of emergency services, representing
an add-on cost of the claim for the damages of the vehicles, property
and/or injuries. In the event services are required relating to utilities
causing safety hazards to highway areas, and if such areas are deemed
unsafe by emergency responders, user fees shall apply to the utility
whose equipment-related problems gave rise to the need for an emergency
services response. Claim costs shall be filed to the insurance coverage
of the owner of a vehicle or property, or other responsible party,
as the case may be.
This Council is empowered to, by motion, adopt, and from time
to time amend, revoke or repeal rules and regulations consistent with
this article as it may deem necessary.
This article shall be effective upon its adoption by Parkside
Borough Council and its approval by the Mayor.
