Which statement about the Building Security Fee is true?

• A. The Building Security Fee must be established by ordinance before the municipal court may collect it.
• B. The Building Security Fee is used to fund security for all city facilities broadly.
• C. The Building Security Fee may be established by administrative policy.
• D. The Building Security Fee is used to fund security for city parks.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that city charges for building security must be created through formal legislative action before the court can collect them. In practice, the city council passes an ordinance that explicitly establishes the Building Security Fee, setting how much it is, what it covers, and how revenue is used. This ordinance provides the legal authority for the municipal court to collect the fee. Administrative policies alone don’t legally authorize a new fee, so they can’t support collection by the court. The other statements aren’t guaranteed because they assume a broad or specific use that isn’t automatically true unless the ordinance defines it.
