RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the 2019 Occupancy Inspection Compliance Report from the Fire Chief pursuant to Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3 of the California Health & Safety Code; and  
ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/4 acknowledging receipt of the report pursuant to Section 13146.4 of the California Health & Safety Code.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact to the adoption of this resolution.

BACKGROUND:

Section 13146.2 requires the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) to annually inspect all hotels, motels, lodging houses, apartment houses and dwellings, and associated accessory structures for compliance with building standards and other regulations of the State Fire Marshal. Single family dwellings, including duplexes, are excluded. The occupancies covered by this statute are defined in the “Group R” occupancy classifications within the California Fire and Building Codes.


BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
Section 13146.3 requires the District to inspect all public or private schools not less than once per year. The occupancies covered by this stature are defined in the “Group E” occupancy classifications within the California Fire and Building Codes. It should be noted that a school is defined as containing grades K-12 and does not include day care, colleges, or adult learning facilities.  
  
Effective January 1, 2019, Section 13146.4 of the California Health and Safety Code requires all city or county fire departments and fire districts responsible for conducting mandated annual occupancy inspections of Group E and Group R occupancies to report annually to their governing body on their compliance with these two mandated inspection programs. Additionally, the governing body is required to adopt a resolution acknowledging receipt of the report.  
  
For the calendar year 2019 reporting period, the District completed 100% of the required annual inspections of both Group E and Group R occupancies within its jurisdiction.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Board fails to accept the report and adopt the resolution, the District will be in violation of Section 13146.4 of the California Health and Safety Code until such time as a report is accepted and a resolution is adopted.
