The Signal Hill City Council proclaimed May 2026 as Building Safety Month, recognizing the role of building safety officials, inspectors and construction professionals in maintaining resilient buildings.
Planning Manager Carlos Louis thanked the council and introduced Contract Building Official Paul Armstrong, who said code evaluation is a continuing process in the city's "natural laboratory" and thanked the council for the recognition.
The proclamation text noted Signal Hill's development constraints—including slopes, view impacts, earthquake faults and oilfield operations—and encouraged residents to recognize building officials' role in public safety and resilience.
The council presented the proclamation and officials said they would notify the International Code Council of the recognition.
Next steps: the city will continue routine inspections and outreach about building safety during the month.
