The governing council seeks not to levy or collect public safety related fines or fees as a revenue source beyond the accomplishment of the foregoing. All other activities and endeavors of the governing council on behalf of the public, that are not directly related and necessary for public safety, shall be financed through fully transparent fees or taxation and not subsidized by excess fines and fees purporting to be required for public safety.
