Proclamation
Building Safety Month — May, 2025
WHEREAS, our Jurisdiction is committed to recognizing that our growth and strength
depends on the safety and essential role our homes, buildings and infrastructure play, both in
everyday life and when disasters strike; and
WHEREAS, our confidence in the resilience of these buildings that make up our
community is achieved through the devotion of vigilant guardians —building safety and fire
prevention officials, architects, engineers, builders, tradespeople, design professionals, laborers,
plumbers and others in the construction industry —who work year-round to ensure the safe
construction of buildings; and
WHEREAS, these guardians are dedicated members of the International Code Council, a
nonprofit that brings together local, state, territorial, tribal and federal officials who are experts in
the built environment to create and implement the highest -quality codes and standards to protect us
in the buildings where we live, learn, work and play; and
WHEREAS, these modern building codes and standards include safeguards to protect the
public from hazards such as hurricanes, snowstorms, tornadoes, wildland fires, floods and
earthquakes; and
WHEREAS, Building Safety Month is sponsored by the International Code Council to
remind the public about the critical role of our communities' largely unknown protectors of public
safety —our code officials —who assure us of safe, sustainable and affordable buildings that are
essential to our prosperity; and
WHEREAS, "Game On!," the theme for Building Safety Month 2025, encourages us all to
get involved and raise awareness about building safety on a personal, local and global scale; and
WHEREAS, each year, in observance of Building Safety Month, people all over the world
are asked to consider the commitment to improve building safety, resilience and economic
investment at home and in the community, and to acknowledge the essential service provided to all
of us by local, state, tribal, territorial, and federal building safety and fire prevention departments, in
protecting lives and property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Zach Lindstrom, Mayor of City of
Mounds View, do hereby proclaim the month of May 2025 as Building Safety Month. Accordingly,
I encourage our citizens to join us as we participate in Building Safety Month activities.
