72. SERIALIZED WEAPONS CERTIFICATION LETTER PROCESSING FEE Pursuant to A.R.S. §11-251.08, set a public hearing for December 9, 2015 to solicit comments and consider the adoption of a $130.00 fee to cover the Sheriff's Office expense of processing certification letters for firearms registrants of serialized weapons. Upon Board approval, this item will become effective July 1, 2016. The proposed fee applies to a limited user group and is to be assessed upon each submission to the Sheriff’s Office of a request for B.A.T.F. (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) certification letter for a serialized weapon. The fee will recover the expense of complying with federal and state requirements and furnishing the service associated with providing certification letters within the timeline specified in statute. Activities comprising the expense include: data gathering, research, requests to other law enforcement agencies for records, reports and information, technical support of electronic components, analysis of the information provided, investigating leads, notary services and supplies. There are approximately 140 applications annually. The estimated annual revenue impact to the General Fund is $18,200. (C-50-16-013-M-00)
