SUBJECT
Title
RESOLUTION - Initiating a text amendment to Fresno Municipal Code sections 15-2009(F) and 15-2010(I), relating to security and electric fences
Body
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Resolution of Initiation for a text amendment to Fresno Municipal Code sections 15-2009(F) and 15-2010(I), relating to security and electric fences.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Sections 15-2009(F) and 15-2010 of the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) set forth requirements for security and electric fences in the City. Prior to the installation of security or electric fences, the FMC currently requires a property owner to obtain a permit and execute a covenant to indemnify the City against all claims relating to the fencing. The Resolution of Initiation proposes to initiate a text amendment that will allow security and electric fence owners to execute an indemnity agreement with the City for all fence-related claims and remove the requirement for property owners to execute a covenant.
The attached draft shows the proposed amendments to the Fresno Municipal Code.
