The Tahlequah Fire Department shall initiate mitigation rates
for the delivery of emergency and non-emergency services by the fire
department for personnel, supplies and equipment to the scene of emergency
and non-emergency incidents as listed in "EXHIBIT A". The mitigation
rates shall be based on actual costs of the services and that which
is usual, customary and reasonable (UCR) as shown in "EXHIBIT A",
which may include any services, personnel, supplies, and equipment
and with baselines established by addendum to this document.
A claim shall be filed to the responsible party(s) through their
insurance carrier. In some circumstances, the responsible party(s)
may be billed directly if self-insured.
The Tahlequah City Council may make rules or regulations and
from time to time may amend, revoke, or add rules and regulations
as it may deem necessary or expedient in respect to billing for these
mitigation rates or the collection thereof.
The Mitigation Rates lists in "Exhibit A" will increase by 1.5%
annually or based on the annual percentage increase in the Consumer
Price Index (CPI), as developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the U.S. Department of Labor, whichever is more. Rate adjustments
will occur on the anniversary date of this Ordinance to keep the Tahlequah
Fire Department's cost recovery program in conformity with increasing
operating expenses.
