FIRE INSPECTIONS <br /> We have established three objectives for our inspection Programs: <br /> 1. Educate the public in fire safety; <br /> 2. Improve familiarity with the community, its buildings, and their <br /> occupants; <br /> 3. And eliminate hazardous situations. <br /> This program involves the annual inspection of every occupancy with the <br /> exception of one and two-family dwellings. The success of this program is <br /> evident in the very low incidence of non-residential fires over the years. During <br /> 1999, we inspected 19 occupancies through this program. <br /> In addition to our annual fire inspections, we also conduct day care and public <br /> school inspections under a contract with the State Fire .Marshal's office. During <br /> 1999 there were no such inspections. <br /> We also conduct inspections of new occupancies through the occupancy permit <br /> process. During 1999 we conducted.6 such inspections. <br /> CITY CODE INSPECTIONS <br /> During 1999 we dealt with 61 code violations via letter and 23 verbally. In <br /> addition, we dealt with numerous illegal signs without contacting the violators. <br /> The number of violations addressed in 1999 has declined by about 40% from the <br /> previous year. By the end of 1999, we had 84% compliance regarding these <br /> violations. <br /> FIRE DRILLS <br /> State law requires all schools and nursing homes to conduct fire and tornado <br /> drills on a regular basis. During 1999 we were involved in 3 such drills. <br /> 15. <br />
