Item three Part of the Gender Equity Safe Communities, New Americans and Education Committee Agenda Item 30 Council Bill 119 650 Relating to violations of and compliance with the sale fire code, the committee recommends the bill pass. Council Member Gonzalez Thank you. Council President Council Bill 119560 would authorize certain Seattle Fire Department personnel to issue citations for additional requirements and compliance with the requirements of the existing Seattle Fire Code. This legislation would create a civil penalty of $373 per violation. This is equal to the fee for inspections, and it will allow for the use of a more moderate tool to enforce compliance with the fire code and help protect lives and property from the risk of fine. This excuse me for the risk of fire. This less punitive approach to enforcement has the potential benefit of incentivizing compliance with the fire code. And again, I want to express my gratitude to the fire department for the thoughtful approach to this. This strategy, which includes included a plan for extensive engagement of property owners, including language appropriate outreach when and if necessary. With that being said, the committee recommends that the city council pass this council bill. Thank you, Councilman Gosar. Any questions or comments?
