Proclamation
the City of Manhattan Beach is committed to recognizing that our growth and strength depends on the safety and essential role of our homes, buildings and infrastructure play, both in everyday life and when disasters strike; and
our confidence in the structural integrity 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
these modern building codes include safeguards to protect the public from hazards such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wildland fires, floods and earthquakes; and
“It Starts with You,” the theme for Building Safety Month 2023, encourages us all to raise awareness about safety on a personal, local and global scale.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that I, Richard Montgomery, Mayor of the City of Manhattan Beach, California , on behalf of the City Council and the residents of Manhattan Beach, do hereby proclaim May, 2023 as
Building Safety Month
and I call upon the residents of Manhattan Beach to observe this month and 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 properties.
Dated this 2
