DISCUSSION
On September 27, 2018, the State of California approved Senate Bill (SB) 1205, adding Section 13146.4 to the Health and Safety Code and requiring City and County Fire Departments to provide an annual compliance report to its administering authority. The adoption of the attached resolution is required to acknowledge receipt of the report.
California Health and Safety Code Sections 13145 and 13146 mandate City and County Fire Departments to enforce building standards adopted by the State Fire Marshal. Included in these standards are requirements for annual inspections of hotels, motels, lodging houses and apartment houses, as well as private and public schools.
The City of Menifee Fire Department assures compliance of these facilities by scheduling inspections with property owners during the properties’ assigned inspection dates. The Fire Department has completed inspections of all known facilities as required for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 and as indicated in the attached State Mandated Inspections List.
