TB Resolution 2024 - 036f: Resolution Proclaiming Building Safety Month — May 2024
Whereas our Town is committed to recognizing that our growth and strength depends on the safety and essential role our homes, buildings, and infrastructure play, both in everyday life
and when disasters strike, and;
Whereas our confidence in the resilience of these buildings that make up our community is achieved through the devotion of vigilant guardians––building safety and fire prevention officials,
architects, engineers, builders, tradespeople, design professionals, laborers, plumbers, and others in the construction industry––who work year-round to ensure the safe construction
of buildings, and;
Whereas these guardians are dedicated members of the International Code Council, a nonprofit that brings together local, state, territorial, tribal and federal officials who are experts
in the built environment to create and implement the highest-quality codes to protect us in the buildings where we live, learn, work and play, and;
Whereas these modern building codes include safeguards to protect the public from hazards such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wildland fires, floods, and earthquakes, and;
Whereas Building Safety Month is sponsored by the International Code Council to remind the public about the critical role of our communities’ largely unknown protectors of public safety
- our local code officials - who assure us of safe, sustainable, and affordable buildings that are essential to our prosperity, and;
Whereas “Mission Possible,” the theme for Building Safety Month 2024, encourages us all to raise awareness about building safety on a personal, local, and global scale, and;
Whereas each year, in observance of Building Safety Month, people all over the world are asked to consider the commitment to improve building safety, resilience and economic investment
at home and in the community, and to acknowledge the essential service provided to all of us by local and state building departments, fire prevention bureaus and federal agencies in
protecting lives and property.
Resolved that the Town Board proclaims the month of May each year as Building Safety Month and encourages its citizens to join us as we participate in Building Safety Month activities.
