ITEM:
Discussion on any and all matters regarding the adoption of a resolution of the Mayor and Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, declaring a certain document titled NFPA 1 Fire Code 2012 (National Fire Protection Association 1 Fire Code 2012), a public record and ordering the filing of three (3) copies in the Office of the City Clerk. (Hank Green, Fire Chief)
SUMMARY:
This requested action is the first step to update the City of San Luis Fire Code by adopting NFPA 1 Fire Code (2012 Edition) and its Amendments. The Amendments will be developed following discussions and actions by the City of San Luis Fire Department, City of San Luis Building Appeals Board and ultimately the City of San Luis City Council.
The City of San Luis Fire Department is currently using (enforcing) the NFPA 1 Uniform Fire Code 2003. The City of Yuma and the City of Somerton have adopted NFPA 1 Fire Code 2012. When adopted, municipal fire departments, code enforcement, building construction and building inspections will be under the same Fire Code.
Fire Inspector Richard Bauermann will present the NFPA 1 Fire Code 2012 to the Building Appeals Board on Friday, April 29, 2016. With their approval and concurrence, proposed adopting ordinance will be presented to the Mayor and City Council for approval of the First Reading of NFPA 1 Fire Code 2012 and its amendments next week. The final time this item will be before the City Council will probably be in late May or early June for the Second Reading and final adoption of the ordinance.
