such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wildland fires, floods and earthquakes; and,
WHEREAS, Building Safety Month is sponsored by the International Code Council, publisher of
the 2020 Minnesota Building Code, 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, efficient and
livable buildings that are essential to America's prosperity; and
WHEREAS, "Safety for All: Building Codes in Action," is the theme for Building Safety Month
2022. Building Safety Month encourages appropriate steps everyone can take to ensure the safety of our
built environment, and recognizes that the implementation of safety codes by local and state agencies has
saved lives and protected homes and businesses in Mounds View, since 1954; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Mounds View,
