SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or his designee to sign and execute an agreement with Battery Recyclers of America for the disposal of hazardous datamatic lithium batter ies in the amount of $10,200.00.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adopting a resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to sign and execute an agreement with Battery Recyclers of America for the disposal of hazardous datamatic lithium batteries in the amount of $10,200.00.
Discussion:
From 2009 to 2013, the City of Wasco Water Department purchased and installed Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) devices known as “Fireflys” from AMI Datamatic LTD.
On October 2013, AMI Datamatic LTD filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which caused the AMR devices to become obsolete. Datamatic lithium batteries powered these automatic reading devic es. During the cou rse of four year s, these batteries were not disposed of properly. Approximately 4,080 lbs of datamatic lithium batteries are currently stored in various 300- gallon containers. Over t ime, s toring such a large number of batteries in one location can create a hazard for employees and facilities.
The Battery Recyclers of America (BROA) are a national battery recycling company headquartered in Dallas, Texas that recycles all battery chem istries. They offer transportation solutions in all 50 states and strategic warehousing locations across the country to facilitate their operations and service, which allows them to offer highly competitive market pricing. BROA provides the customer an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recycling certificate with every job as proof of the customer’s responsibility and commitment to comply with the EPA standards.
Disposal costs vary between providers. BROA pricing is significantly lower than other service providers serving our area:

This request is for the approval of Mayor Reyna, Mayor Pro Tem Pallares, Council Member Garcia, and City Manager Hurlbert to attend the League of California Cities 2022 Annual Conference on September 7 – 9, 2022, in Long Beach, California.

HOUSING ALERT AND POTENTIAL SCAM WARNING
Beware of professional hotel scammers who may contact you claiming to be the Cal Cities Housing Bureau/Service to help reserve hotel rooms in the vicinity of the Long Beach Convention Center.
They may say the Cal Cities hotel block is sold out or use some other ploy to book you into another hotel for a room that most likely does not exist.
Once the housing reservation period has begun, and after your registration or exhibit space fee has been paid in full, you will automatically receive a hotel registration link from an @calcities.org email address.

City Clerks Workshop: DEI and the City Clerk’s Office: Expanding the Bridge Clerks
Additional registration $150 per attendee from a member city/$300 per attendee from a non-member city. Pending approval for 1 CMC/MMC Advanced Education Point.
The City Clerk’s office is often referred to as the bridge between the community and City Hall. It is the first place where the members of the community go when they don’t know where to go. It is forward facing to the community on so many levels – boards and commissions, public records requests, elections, special events, etc. It is uniquely situated to serve as an internal and external ally in City Hall. The question is whether that ability is recognized and what, if anything, is done with it. In this session, participants will examine how DEI principles are interwoven with the work of the profession and learn practical skills and strategies to implement the same, and how the City Clerk's office can be a conduit for greater sense of belonging in our communities.. The goal and hope of the session is to equip participants to expand the bridge in their communities from their place on the front lines of local government and democracy. 9:50 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

This panel will explain why these programs are effective and how to create one.

It is evident that city leaders must change how we approach wildfire prevention. Total elimination of wildfires is not only impossible, but not advisable. We must build resiliency into our communities and learn to

How do you create a balanced approach to STR administration that addresses the needs of your community? Homeowners can start a STR business with the click of a button, but the majority are not aware of their tax obligations. Some community members want to rent, while others don’t want rentals in their neighborhood. Some municipalities are most interested in tax compliance and creating a fair hospitality market, while others are more interested in the potential revenue STRs can generate. Delve into these issues and more with our panel of experts.

The most recent agreement was effective from July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2022 however, activities under the program were suspended due to Covid. If the Council wishes to move forward with the agreement the Work Release Program will be effective from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2024.
The Public Works Department has successfully used the Work Release Program to address a variety of landscape maintenance needs such as weed abatement, ditch cleaning, general landscaping maintenance, plant removal and replacement, and other general departmental needs. The City assigned Work Release Program personnel to receive training from the Kern County Sheriff’s departme nt regarding the program’s policies and procedures. The City of Wasco is required to cover the Work Release Program personnel with Workers Compensation Insurance and any medical cost associated with any unforeseen incidents or injuries.
Fiscal Impact:
Fiscal Impact of the Work Release Program Agreement has been incorporated into the 2022 – 2023 Fiscal Year budget.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution approving the Cost Report for Abatement of Weeds, Trash, Rubbish, Property Board -up, and Approving the Cost Report for Outstanding Fines, Assessing the Cost Thereof and Imposing Liens Pursuant to City of Wasco Municipal Code Chapters 8.24 and 17.80
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution approving the Cost Report for abatement of weeds, trash, rubbish, property board -up, and outstanding Code Compliance fines, and imposing liens on the subject properties as provided for in City of Wasco Municipal Code Chapters 8.24 and 17.80.
Background:
This item is the annual Code Compliance fine approval and abatement tax lien hearing, where the Council reviews and confirms the abatement and outstanding fine amounts that are to be placed as liens on the 2022/23 tax rolls.
Discussion:
During the calendar year 2021, the City of Wasco initiated and completed the nuisance abatement of weeds, trash, rubbish, and debris, including boarding and securing vacant homes, all of which constitute a public nuisance within the City. These abatements were conducted in accordance with various Wasco Municipal Code Chapters, including 8.24 and 17.80. In order to recoup abatement costs, the City Council is required to conduct a hearing and confirm the assessment and collection of costs of abating weeds, trash, rubbish, and debris on private property, including the securement of vacant, abandoned homes that become a public nuisance to the surrounding areas.
In addition, during the calendar year 2020, several unpaid Code Compliance fines have accrued. On May 16, 2022, a Director's Hearing was held to allow any property owners to present additional evidence or testimony as to why their fines should be reduced and/or waived. Following that hearing , a letter of determination was sent to each property owner regarding the final status of their fines and notifying them that the Council

The attached resolution will allow the City to place these costs on the 2022/23 property tax roll.
Attached to this resolution as Exhibit A is a complete list of the parcels to be assessed and the amounts to be placed as liens on the properties.

DATE: June 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Authorize the City Manager or his Designee to Execute a Task Order Proposal with QUAD KNOPF, INC., for P rofessional Consulting Services for C ompliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to S upport the C onstruction of F our Wells and T wo New Water Storage Tanks (Project) in the City of Wasco.
_____________________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:
Staff recommends the adoption of a resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a Task Order proposal for CEQA Services for the Proposed New Water Wells and Tanks with QUAD KNOPF, INC.
Background:
The City currently has an agreement with QK to provide consulting planning services.
Discussion:
The City intends to drill four new water wells and construct two new water storage tanks to provide City residents with clean and safe drinking water. The City is seeking funding from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Program . It has been determined that the City qualifies as a severely disadvantaged c ommunity and will be subject to CEQA - only review pursuant to the State’s adopted Intended Use Plan 2021-2022.
As the lead agency under CEQA, the City has determined the appropriate level of environmental review would be the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). However, the SFR staff revised some of their requirements for the analysis of projects under this program. This proposal reflects these changes.

Wasco, CA 93280
Subject: Proposal for CEQA Services for the Proposed New Water Wells and Tanks Project Dear Ms. Cobb:
QK is pleased to submit this proposal to provide professional consulting services to the City of Wasco for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to support a proposed construction of four new water wells and two new water storage tanks (Project) in the City of Wasco (City), California.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City intends to drill four new water wells and construc t two new water storage tanks to provide City residents with clean and safe drinking water. It is our understandin g that the City is seeking funding from the State Revolving Fund (SRF) Clean Water Program, and it has been determined that the City qu alifies as a severely disadvantaged community and will subject to CEQA-only review pursuant to the State’s adopted Inte nded Use Plan 2021-2022.
However, the SFR staff revised some of their requirements for the analysis of projec ts under this program. This proposal reflects these changes. As lead agency unde r CEQA, the City has determined the appropriate level of environmental review would be the preparation of an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND).
We assume that any other study commissi oned for the Project, other than what is proposed in this scope, will be provided to us. These include but are not limited to:
Project Description;
Site plan;
Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) with alternatives analysis; Available studies (e.g., a Phase 1 or Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment); Geotechnical Reports;
Water Quality Analysis; and
Operational Statement that outlines the technical processes to be conducted at the facility.
QK will coordinate its work with the City of Wasco. Based upon our recent correspondence and a request for fees, the following scope of services is proposed.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1.0 TECHNICAL STUDIES
QK will provide the following studies to be used to support the IS/MND:
Subtask 1.1 Cultural and Tribal Resources
The property has been farmed in the pa st and is highly disturbed, so a qu alified QK archaeologist will conduct a background/archival research at the Southern San Joaqui n Valley Information Center to determine if there are EXHIBIT "A"
133 of 252
Proposal to M. Lara Page 2 of 4
June 8, 2022
previously known cultural resources on the Project site or area. A Sacred Lands File revi ew by the Native American Heritage Commission will also be requested. Results of this records search will be documented in a Technical Memo and as part of the CEQA document. QK will also draft a lett er to the appropriate tribal groups pursuant to Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and Public Resources Code § 21080.3.1 for use by the District. Cultural Resources Records search at the Southern San Joaquin Archaeological Information Center - Cal State Bakersfield
Native American Consultation list from the Native American Heritage Commission Preparation of the Cultural and Tribal Resources Section of the IS/MND Assistance with AB 52 compliance (tribal consultation) Deliverable:
Cultural Resources Technical Memo in PDF format
Subtask 1.2 Biological Resources
QK will conduct a general biological reconnaissance survey of the entire Project site and 25 0-foot buffer, if feasible, to document existing Project site conditions. The survey will identify the habitat types and vegetation associations observed on the Project site and assess the potential for occurrence of sensitive plant and animal species. Results will be analyzed in the IS/MND.
Deliverables:
Preparation of a Biological Resources Section of IS/MND Subtask 1.3 Focused Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis Under contract to QK, Insight Environmental Consultants will prepare a focused Air Quality Impacts Analysis (focused AQIA) as required by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s (SJVAPCD) Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI) – Updated March 19, 2015. The focused AQIA will analyze the Project’s construction and operational phases. The AQIA will include a conformity analysis as required by CEQA and will follow the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s (SJVAPCD) air quality assessment guidelines.
Deliverable:
AQIA in PDF format
TASK 2.0 PREPARE IS/MND
QK will prepare an administrative draft IS/MND using information provided by the City and augmented with additional research and available in-house reso urces for review and comment by the City. The IS/MND will include an introduction chapter that provides an overview of the Project, a brief discussion of why environmental documentation for the Project is required under CEQA, the scope of the IS/MND, impact terminology definitions, and the organization of the IS/MND document. The IS/MND will also have a chapter that includes a Project description with, at a minimum, a vicinity, Project location, and site plan map. This chapter will also include the 2022 CEQA IS Checklist (Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines). As required by CEQA, the administrative draft IS/MND will include another chapter that lists the preparers of the document, a cover page, table of contents, list of figures, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, the mailing list, Notice of Completion, and references will al so be included as part of the document. One round of revisions is anticipated.
After the City has reviewed and provided comment on the administrative draft IS/MND, QK will revise and prepare a screen-check draft IS/MND for approval and distribution by the City for public review. We assume the City will reproduce and distribute the draft IS/MND to the appropriate City departments and responsible/trustee agencies. QK will prepare a PDF copy of the IS/MND and studies to submit to the State Clearing house (SCH) along with the mandatory Notice of Completion (NOC) and Summary Form, as well as three printed copies for the County Clerk with the required Notice of Intent (NOI) in cluded in the draft IS/MND. We assume the City will provide a mailing list of recipients beyond those State agencies receiving the document from the SCH. One round of revisions is anticipated. 134 of 252
Proposal to M. Lara Page 3 of 4
June 8, 2022
After the required 30-day public review period, QK will prepare the final IS/MND based on comments received during the public review period. As required by §21091(f) of the CEQA Guidelines, the City mu st consider the MND and any comments received before approving the Project. The City has no affirmative duty to prepare formal responses to comments on the proposed MND but should have adequate information on the record explaining why a comment does not affect the conclusion that there is no potentially significant effect. If a received comment warrants additional explanation about why the Project does not result in a potentially significant effect, then it is recommended that the City prepare a response to comments to be included in the final IS/MND to be pres ented to the City Planning Commission and City Council for their consideration. QK would prepare a response memo that would be submitted along with the final IS/MND for the Commission’s consideration. We anticipate responding to up to eight comment letters.
A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) report will be drafted with the final IS/MND for adoption by the City Council. The purpose of the MMRP is to ensure that mitigation measures are implemented; a typical MMRP includes discreet steps for compliance with a mitigation measure, timing of compliance (e.g., prior to issuance of a permit or during construction), and identifies the party responsible in ensuring compliance.
QK will prepare a screen-check final IS/MND with MMRP for approval by the City prior to providing the final IS/MND for distribution to the Planning Commission and City Council.
We assume the City will publish a Notice of Intent (NOI) in the local newspaper.
QK will be available to attend the Pl anning Commission and City Council m eeting when final IS/MND approval and MMRP adoption will be considered. If the City Council decides to approve the final IS/MND and adopt the MMRP, we will prepare the draft Notice of Determination (NOD) to be finalized and submitted to the SCH and Kern County Clerk by the City, along with the required Ca lifornia Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) fees at the time of the NOD submittal. As required by CEQA, if the Project is approved, the NOD will be filed with the SCH and County Clerk within five working days.
Please note that the filing of the NOD requires payment of two (2) separate fees: a $50.00 Kern County Clerk filing fee and a $2,548.00 CDFW filing fee (2022 fee schedule) as required by Fish and Game Code Section 713. These two (2) fees are not included in this proposal.
The SRF has expanded their requirements of projects fallin g under their funding programs . QK staff will work with SRF to complete the new forms and inco rporate the analysis of alternatives and environm ental justice into the IS/MND document.
Deliverables:
Administrative draft IS/MND in WORD format
Screen-check draft IS/MND in PDF format
3 hard copies of the IS/MND for the County Clerk
IS/MND, studies, NOC and NOI for SCH in PDF format
Screen-check final IS/MND in PDF format
Up to 10 CD copies of the final IS/MND
A Response to Comments memo (if necessary) in PDF format Draft NOD in Word format
SRF forms in PDF format
TASK 3.0 AGENCY COORDINATION
This scope includes a contingency of approximately 20 hours for work to be performed by QK on an as-needed basis.
Tasks include but are not limited to: 1) discussions with the City and the State Water Board staff regarding the project and analyses prepared; 2) the assembly of a project description materials; 3) coordination with City and State staff, by phone, email or using MS TEAMs or ZOOM video conferencing programs. 135 of 252
Proposal to M. Lara Page 4 of 4
June 8, 2022
SCHEDULE
QK will initiate the above tasks based upon your specific direction and authorization to proceed. It is anticipated that the completion of Tasks 1.0 and 2.0 would be completed within approximately eight weeks of the Notice to Proceed.
FEE ESTIMATE
Per this initial agreement, QK proposes to provide services for the above referenced Task 1.0 and Task 2.0 on a Fixed Fee (FF) basis, as indicated in table below. Task 3.0 will be provided on a Time & Materials (T&M) basis.
Task/
Subtask
Description Fee Type Fixed Fee

Total Fee $47,690
Notes:
1. Expenses for reproduction, mailing, mileage, etc. are billed separately per our attached Charge Rate Schedule.
2. All time-and-materials fees will be invoiced monthly based on the level of effort in terms of hours relative to our Charge Rate Schedule.
3. When a Task is set on a time-and-materials fee basis, it signifies that it is not possible to accurately predict the amount of work effort required typical of on-call type services. QK will work with the client to set expectations where applicable.
4. Tasks billed by fixed fees will be invoiced monthly based on the percentage of work completed.
5. Additional Services requested in writing and approved by the client will be provided on a time-and-materials basis.
EXCLUSIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
Based on our understanding of the Project, we anticipate that the above amount should be sufficient to complete the required work. However, should circumstan ces arise (e.g., additional studies, re ports, fees) that are outside of this scope of work, a revised fee would be prepared for your approval.
As noted above, this scope of services does not include payment of any fees related the CEQA document, such as County Clerk and 2022 California Department of Fish and Game fees.
AUTHORIZATION OF SERVICES
In order to authorize services described herein, please send us an Agreement. Typically, we can begin our services within 3 business days of the time authorization is received depending on client need and schedule constraints.
If you have any questions regarding this proposal or require additional information, please contact Jaymie Brauer at (661) 616-2600. Thank you very much for considering QK fo r this opportunity. We look forward to working with the City of Wasco on this exciting Project.

SUBJECT: A dopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or his designee to Execute an Agreement with Nova Products, a Peninsula Plastics LTD. Company in the amount of $ $21,436.80 to purchase 6048 plastic, 2-gallon organic totes.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adopting a resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to sign and execute an agreement with Nova Products, a Peninsula Plastics LTD. Company to purchase 6,048 2-gallon organic kitchen scrap totes.
Discussion:
Per the new State organic recycling law SB 1383, the City’s Sanitation Department is responsible for the control of contamination in the residential refuse and organic curbside containers, and ultimately the regular residential recycling (blue) containers as well. City staff will provide as a one-time distribution to every resident available at the time of said distribution, o ne plastic 2 -gallon tote. This will help ensure and promote the proper contents in the stream of a residential kitchen. Organic waste scraps will be deposited in the correct curbside container for servicing. Staff recommends the purchase of the 2 - gallon totes with instructions hot stamped into the plastic body of what can and cannot be put into the organic stream of solid waste. Staff believes this will help to reduce the percentage of contamination at the source and help lead to a better residential organics recycling program from the start. Cal Recycle is suggesting this will be a benefit to the City’s organics program.

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Ratifying the Executed Letter Authorizing the County of Kern as the Lead Agency to Submit to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) a Regional Application for the Used Oil Payment Program (OPP) Fiscal Year 2022-23 on its behalf.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends a dopting a resolution ratifying the executed letter authorizing the County of Kern as the lead agency to submit to CalRecycle a regional application for the used oil payment program fiscal year 2022-23 on its behalf.
Background:
The City has historically opted into the regional application for the used oil payment program with the County of Kern.
Discussion:
It is in the City's best interest to authorize the County of Kern to be the lead agency and submit an application on the City of Wasco's behalf for funding to CalRecycle for the support and marketing of used oil recycling centers within the City limits. The City has authorized the County previously and is required to do so annually.
Public Resources Code 48600 et seq. describes the California Oil Recycling Enhancement Act (Act), which provides for, among other things, funding to assist local governments in developing and maintaining an ongoing used oil and used oil filter collection/recycling program for their communities. In 2009, Senate Bill 546 (Lowenthal, Chapter 353, Statutes of 2009) was enacted and made various changes to the Act, including changing the funding from a reimbursable grant program (formerly known as the Used Oil Block Grant Program [UBG]) to a payment program (referred to as the Used Oil Payment Program [OPP]), increasing the funding to $11 million per year (up from $10million), and encouraging local governments to use a minimum of $1 million (approximately 10 percent of their individual funding) on collection and recycling of used oil filters.
As the lead agency, the County manages and oversees the used oil recycling program.
This program consists of the operation and oversight of certified used oil collection

centers in Kern Unincorporated areas and within the participating jurisdictions. The County also provides advertisement and promotion of the program, submits required reporting to the State, and covers other admin istrative responsibilities. The County has larger staffing resources and capacity than the City to monitor and implement the used oil recycling program; therefore , staff recommends the City opt into the regional application as it has historically done.

DATE: June 27, 2022
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Authorize the City to Implement Teleconference Public Meetings Pursuant to Assembly Bill (“AB”) 361, Allowing the City to Continue a Hybrid Virtual Meeting Environment.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends authorizing the City to impl ement teleconference public meetings pursuant to Assembly Bill AB 361, a llowing the City to c ontinue a hybrid virtual meeting environment.
Background:
Over the past year, meetings of the City’s legislative bodies have been held with virtual teleconference components. On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (“AB”) 361, which allows cities to continue to meet remotely during proclaimed states of emergency under modified Ralph M. Brown Act requirements that are similar but not identical to the rules and procedures established by the previous Executive Orders temporarily suspending provisions of the Brown Act. On September 20, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-15-21 to suspend AB 361 until October 1, 2021.
AB 361, until January 1, 2024, would authorize a local agency to use teleconferencing without complying with the teleconferencing requirements imposed by the Brown Act when a local legislative body holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency by the Governor and when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
Discussion:
On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which among other things, rescinded his prior Executive Order N-29-20 and set a date of October 1, 2021, for public agencies to transition back to public meetings held in full compliance with the Brown Act.
As the virus continues to periodically surge in California, the goal of AB 361 is “to improve and enhance public access to local agency meetings during the COVID -19 pandemic
STAFF REPORT
City of Wasco

and future applicable emergencies, by allowing broader access through teleconferencing options,” consistent with Executive Order N -29-20. AB 361 contains an urgency clause which became effective upon signing with a sunset of January 1, 2024.
AB 361 also provides that if a local agency conducts teleconference meetings in reliance on AB 361, the local agency must make the following findings by majority vote every 30 days to continue using the bill’s exemption to the Brown Act teleconferencing rules:
•The legislative body has reconsidered the circumstances of the emergency; and
• Either of the following circumstances exists: The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of members to meet safely in person, or State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures.
Staff recommends adopting the resolution to authorize the implementation of teleconferencing public meetings.

PG&E EV FLEET PROGRAM PARTICIPANT DATA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
EV Fleet program participants are required to provide site, equipment, and utilization data for at least 5 years from the time chargers are operational. Sites are required to:
1. Install a separate meter, dedicated for EV charging; and
2. Install chargers with Application Program Interface (API) communication capability. Off -road vehicles are excluded from this requirement.
Below are the data and metrics that will be collected by PG&E through the API. PG&E will contact EVSPs after EVSEs are activated to initiate API testing.

Terminology Defined
1 Acronym Definition
EV Electric Vehicle
UL Underwriters Laboratory
EVSE Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment safely connects the AC electricity grid at a site to the EV.
Sometimes used more broadly to refer to the
charging equipment, not including the make- ready
infrastructure or other charging infrastructure. May
include multiple connectors to charge several EVs
or to serve EVs with different types of connectors
(e.g., SAE CCS and CHAdeMO)

AHJ Authority Having Jurisdiction, as defined by Article 100 of the 2017 National Electric Code: An
organization, office, or individual responsible for
enforcing the requirements of a code or standard, or
for approving equipment, materials, an installation,
or a procedure.2
J-1772 Standard An SAE standard for electrical and physical interface to facilitate a safe connection from the EVSE for
conductive charging
1 See D.18-01-024 at Appendix A.
2 2017 NEC Article 100, Definitions, includes an informational note regarding AHJ: “The phrase ‘authority having jurisdiction’ or its acronym AHJ, is used in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) documents in a broad manner, since jurisdictions and approval agencies vary, as do their responsibilities. Where public safety is primary, the authority having jurisdiction may be a federal, state, local, or other regional department or individual such as a fire chief; fire marshal; chief of a fire prevention bureau, labor department, or health department; building official; electrical inspector; or others having statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department, rating bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the authority having jurisdiction. In many circumstances, the property owner or his or her designated agent assumes the role of the authority having jurisdiction; at government installations, the commanding officer or departmental official may be the authority having jurisdiction.”
