During a past review of the City's Charter and Code of Ordinances, it was discovered that the existing fire prevention code was vague and did not align with state statutes or the operational requirements of the Fire Department concerning fire prevention and inspections. As we look forward to commercial and economic growth clearly defined fire codes are essential to have in place. The City ofl Fort Meade is mandated by state statute to establish a specific fire code that is clear, concise, and effectively communicates the requirements for both commercial occupancies and the City itself. This proposed ordinance aligns the City's fire prevention code with the Florida Fire Prevention Code, ensuring legal compliance and establishing clear expectations for commercial occupancies. This alignment is critical for maintaining the safety oflife and property within the City ofl Fort Meade. FISCALIMPACT: There is a nominal fee for inspections charged and estimated revenue is approximately $4,850- $5,000 to the fire budget annually. There is no direct negative fiscal impact associated with updating the fire prevention code. Our current staff are certified and able to perform inspections and enforce code. However, the implementation ofar more defined and enforceable code may lead to: improved compliance and potentially reduce costs associated with fire-related incidents. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission approve the proposed ordinance to update the fire prevention code oft the City of Fort Meade. MOTION: Move to adopt Ordinance 2024-18 Fort Meade Fire Prevention Code on 2nd and Final Reading.
