172. no, because the people who opt not to pay the $75 are likely to be the same ones
who won't pay for the costs after the fact. So you still have half the county residents paying $75 & half paying nothing and whining when their houses burn down.
The city has no jurisdiction over the county residents -- that's the part you're not getting. It has no authority to tax them or levy fines on them or try to collect those fines.
It would have to be the county levying fines -- & this is the county whose reps voted 19-1 for the "libertarian" solution of allowing individuals to contract as individuals with the city. So I don't see them levying any $1000 fines.
