RES 1324 04/11/2006 RESOLUTION 1324
Whereas,through our continuing attention to building safety,we enjoy the comfort and peace of mind
of structures that are safe and sound; and,
Whereas,building safety and fire prevention officials are at work year round to guide the safe
construction of buildings; and,
Whereas,the dedicated members of the International Code Council,including building safety and fire
prevention officials,architects, engineers, builders and others in the construction industry, develop and
enforce codes to safeguard Americans in the buildings where we live, work, play and learn; and,
Whereas,the International Codes,the most widely adopted building safety and fire prevention codes
in the nation,are used by most U.S. cities, counties and states. These modern, building safety codes
also include safeguards to protect the public from natural disasters that can occur, such as hurricanes,
snowstorms, tornadoes, wildland fires and earthquakes; and,
Whereas,Building Safety Week, sponsored by the International Code Council Foundation,is an
excellent opportunity to educate the public. It is a perfect time to increase public awareness of the role
building safety and fire prevention officials, local and state buildings departments, and federal agencies
play in protecting lives and property; and,
Whereas,this year's theme,`Building a Safer World Together," encourages all Americans to raise our
awareness of building safety. Everyone can take the appropriate steps to ensure that the places where
we live, work,play and learn are safe. Countless lives have been saved because of the building safety
codes adopted and enforced by local state agencies; and,
Whereas,this year, as we observe Building Safety Week, we ask all Americans to consider projects to
improve building safety at home and in their communities, and to recognize the local building safety
and fire prevention officials and the important role that they play in public safety.
NOW THEREFORE,IT IS HEREBY PROCLAIMED May 7 through May 13, 2006 as Building
Safety Week in the City of Cibolo, Texas. Accordingly, our citizens are encouraged to join their
fellow Americans in participating in Building Safety Week activities and assisting efforts to improve
building safety.
