HomeMy WebLinkAbout0403 Int'l Building SafetyPROCLAMATION
from the inception of this Nation, it has been the responsibility of states
and their local governments to adopt legislation and enforce laws and
ordinances whenever necessary to protect their citizens' health, welfare and
safety.
WHEREAS,
it has been a fundamental part of the democratic principles of this Nation
to involve all interested and affected parties from both the public and
private sectors in the formulation, adoption and, to the fullest extent
possible, in the administration of such laws and ordinances; and
among the most basic of the laws and ordinances which have been so
derived are those acts which assure the public's health and safety in the
buildings in which people live, work and play; and
to assure such safety, the State of Oregon, working together and in
conjunction with its counties and cities, enforces a uniform statewide
building code which has been designed and is maintained with the
assistance of the building industry and the consumers; and
it is through the untiring efforts of state and local building officials and
their cooperative relationship with the construction industry that the
administration of these health and life-safety regulations is assured.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Alan DeBoer, Mayor of Ashland, do hereby designate the week
of April 8 - 14, 2001, as:
"INTERNATIONAL BUILDING SAFETY WEEK"
and urge all citizens to use this week to visit their local building department and to better
familiarize themselves with the important safety information and services provided by
these public servants.
Dated this 3ra day of April, 2001.
