Item #1 <br />CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF November 5, 2002 <br />Mayor and <br />Daryl Parrish, City Manager <br />FROM: City Attorney <br />SUBJECT: Adoption of California Fire Code <br />DATE: October 17, 2002 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On October 1, 2002, the City Council conducted first reading of an ordinance adopting, by <br />reference, the California Fire Code. At the same meeting, the City Council scheduled the <br />public hearing for the ordinance for October 15, 2002. Due to a clerical error, the notice of <br />public hearing was not published prior to October 15, 2002. As a result, the public hearing <br />was continued to November 5, 2002. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: <br />Adoption of the California Fire Code and the proposed local amendments is designed to <br />provide consistency in the application and enforcement of building and housing standards <br />with a particular emphasis on local needs and with the goal of protecting lives and property <br />from fire damage. If the City Council determines not to adopt the proposed Ordinance, the <br />California Fire Code, without the local amendments addressing the City of Colton's local <br />conditions, would apply. Adopting the California Fire Code without the local amendments <br />would restrict the City's ability to enforce life and property safety requirements based on <br />local conditions and the specific needs of the City of Colton. <br />ALTERNATIVES: <br />Adopt the Ordinance adopting, by reference, the California Fire Code. <br />2. Take no action. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />
