In ajoint effort between the City's Fire Marshal's Office and Inspection Services Division, staff received the challenge of review the existing dangerous building regulations for possible changes. Staff had identified areas that needed clarification or improvement so multiple cities were contacted and their regulations were obtained for review. The proposed changes being provided to Council incorporates some infonnation from their ordinances as well as clarification and additions in areas noted by statT. The proposed regulations continue to have a Dangerous Building Inspection Board for the identification and recommendation process while City Council is still charged with the actual condemnation of any building or structure. Should the Building Codes Ad Hoc Committee recommend and Council approve a different Board for detennining condemnation, this ordinance can be easily amended. This ordinance is being presented so that the City may more aggressively pursue structures in dilapidated condition. The strengthening reduces the city's exposure and liability while still providing the ability to inspect and condemen. Action Required bv Council: Consider approving and take action on an ordinance amending the current dangerous building regulations. Approved for City Council Aeenda oa I/;;u) -Vc(- Date
