SUBJECT: Fire Alarm Ordinance Compliance Date, 2°d Reading and Public Hearing
Description•
An ordinance change extending the compliance date to May 31, 2011.
Background•
At the November 12, 2008, city council meeting, this proposed compliance date change
was introduced and a first reading was held. This fire alarm ordinance pertains to mixed
occupancy buildings when one of the occupancies is residential.
With the current economic conditions, staff has been approached by many of the affected
building owners to ask for an extension of this compliance date of May 31, 2009. Staff
has met and is empathetic to their concerns and is recommending an extension of the
compliance date for two years.
Requested Action:
Staff is recommending approving the proposed change in the city ordinance to extend the
compliance date to May 31, 2011.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 651-775-5547 anytime. I will
be in attendance at the December 3, 2008, city council meeting.
