I just had my annual fire inspection. As of this year a fee will be charged for this inspection and it will be based on sq footage of building(s). This was "adopted by the Board of Directors of San Miguel Consolidated Fire Protection District". I was told that they had no money and this was one of the ways to produce some. I was just told by the inspector " Just pass it on to your customers"!! She (inspector) was here for a total of 9 minutes and it will cost me $394.00.
This is just one more reason nobody wants to have a business in wonderful California any more. My local representive was unavailible for comment but the assistant will pass on the message to her!
I own an auto repair shop, the hazardous waste fee is over $600.00 !! just for the privilage of changing peoples oil ! I was told the Ventura Co. board of supervisors approved it , tough luck ! Do I want to move ? you bet I do !
