The <br />International Fire Code with state amendments are established as minimum requirements for fire <br />and life safety, and it is the responsibility of each jurisdiction to amend the code, provided that <br />the amendments do not reduce the minimum performance standards of the codes. The Everett <br />Fire Department is requesting that City Counsel formally adopt the State Fire Code with the <br />proposed local amendments. The Everett Fire Department's proposed local amendments were <br />established to address the following: <br />• Formalize standard practices designed to facilitate fire ground operations. <br />• Consolidate other ordinances to provide a single location for developers, contractors, <br />and citizens to find local fire department requirements. <br />• Address local public safety issues to protect public health, safety and welfare. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Adopt an ordinance adopting the State Fire Code with local amendments, Amending Ordinance <br />Nos. 3196-10 and 1041-84 as amended, and Repealing Ordinance No. 1902-92 as amended. <br />
