<br />Proclamation
<br />Building Safety Month — May, 2025
<br />WHEREAS, our Jurisdiction is committed to recognizing that our growth and strength
<br />depends on the safety and essential role our homes, buildings and infrastructure play, both in
<br />everyday life and when disasters strike; and
<br />WHEREAS, our confidence in the resilience of these buildings that make up our
<br />community is achieved through the devotion of vigilant guardians —building safety and fire
<br />prevention officials, architects, engineers, builders, tradespeople, design professionals, laborers,
<br />plumbers and others in the construction industry —who work year-round to ensure the safe
<br />construction of buildings; and
<br />WHEREAS, these guardians are dedicated members of the International Code Council, a
<br />nonprofit that brings together local, state, territorial, tribal and federal officials who are experts in
<br />the built environment to create and implement the highest -quality codes and standards to protect us
<br />in the buildings where we live, learn, work and play; and
<br />WHEREAS, these modern building codes and standards include safeguards to protect the
<br />public from hazards such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wildland fires, floods and
<br />earthquakes; and
<br />WHEREAS, Building Safety Month is sponsored by the International Code Council to
<br />remind the public about the critical role of our communities' largely unknown protectors of public
<br />safety —our code officials —who assure us of safe, sustainable and affordable buildings that are
<br />essential to our prosperity; and
<br />WHEREAS, "Game On!," the theme for Building Safety Month 2025, encourages us all to
<br />get involved and raise awareness about building safety on a personal, local and global scale; and
<br />WHEREAS, each year, in observance of Building Safety Month, people all over the world
<br />are asked to consider the commitment to improve building safety, resilience and economic
<br />investment at home and in the community, and to acknowledge the essential service provided to all
<br />of us by local, state, tribal, territorial, and federal building safety and fire prevention departments, in
<br />protecting lives and property.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Zach Lindstrom, Mayor of City of
<br />Mounds View, do hereby proclaim the month of May 2025 as Building Safety Month. Accordingly,
<br />I encourage our citizens to join us as we participate in Building Safety Month activities.
<br />IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused th�'seal of the City of
<br />Mounds View, Minnesota, to be affixed this 5t' day of May, 2025� S ___
