RESOLUTION NO. 2064
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO FOR THE PURPOSE OF RE-
COMMENDING LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD PRE-
VENT STATE AGENCIES FROM PREEMPTING THE
FIELD OF LOCAL BUILDING REGULATIONS IF THE
LOCAL JURISDICTION HAS ADOPTED THE NATION-
ALLY RECOGNIZED CODES SPECIFIED IN CHAPTER
17922 OF THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH & SAFETY CODE.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of El Segundo is con-
cerned over recent State legislation which could result in the State of
California preempting the field of building regulations on a local level,
and
WHEREAS, this City is a strong advocate of the "Home Rule"
concept, and
WHEREAS, this City is concerned over the fact that in some
cases local governing bodies are not permitted to designate which agency
or division within its government shall be the enforcement agency for any
given State Agency regulation which is delegated to a local jurisdiction for
enforcement, now
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that the City Council of the
City of El Segundo urges the introduction and adoption of amendments to
the State Health and Safety Code for the purpose of:
(1) retaining for local governing bodies the option of adopt-
ing and enforcing building regulations in lieu of similar
State regulations provided minimum standards are main-
tained equivalent to that prescribed in the State regulations;
and providing that any local agency which adopts the nation-
ally recognized codes specified in Chapter 17922 of the
California Health and Safety Code would automatically be
deemed to have regulations equivalent to the requlations
promulgated by the State Division of Housing.
(2) providing that local governing bodies should be permitted
to designate the local enforcement agency whenever a State
Agency regulation is delegated to a local jurisdiction for
enforcement; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of El Segundo be
directed to transmit a certified copy of this resolution to the Governor of
the State of California and to each member of the State Building Standards
