Committee to present Building Safety Month proclamation to Board of Commissioners
Summary
Planning and development staff recommended the Board of Commissioners present a Building Safety Month proclamation for May 2025 recognizing the International Code Council’s theme “Mission Possible: Building Safety Starts with Us.”
Planning and development staff asked the Development and Planning Services Committee on May 13 to recommend that the Board of Commissioners present a Building Safety Month proclamation at its May 20 meeting.
Staff said the International Code Council recognizes May as Building Safety Month and described the 2025 theme as "Mission Possible Building Safety, starts with us" to highlight the role of modern building codes and code professionals in safeguarding the community. Staff recommended approval of the proclamation and its presentation to the board.
The committee moved the proclamation on consent and the motion carried. A staff member joked about lining up inspectors for a parade, but no public events or specific public education activities were listed in the record.
Why it matters: Building Safety Month is an annual International Code Council observance intended to raise public awareness about building codes and safety. The committee’s action was to recommend presentation of a proclamation to the Board of Commissioners; no program funding or mandated activities were approved at the committee meeting.
