AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

Bulk Item: Yes x No _ Department:
Staff Contact Person/Phone #: Cynthia Hall, x 3174
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval to advertise a public hearing for an ordinance repealing section 13-1 of the Monroe County
Code.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In 1987, the State of Florida adopted Section 633.025, F.S., which stated
that each municipality, county and special district should adopt its own firesafety standards. In
response, the County adopted its Ordinance No. 038-1987, now codified in Section 13-1 of the Monroe
County Code. As initially drafted, the ordinance stated that the Standard Fire Prevention Code, 1985
edition, would be adopted for use as the standard. Over time, the version used as the County standard
has been updated. In 1998, the State legislature revised Section 633.025, F.S. to state that the Florida
Fire Prevention Code and Life Safety Code and National Fire Protection Association 101, Life Safety
Code, adopted by the Florida Department of Insurance, would be legally deemed to be the standard for
municipalities, counties and special districts. The intent was to have uniformity in firesafety standards.
There is therefore no further need for this section of the Monroe County Code.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: Ordinance No. 038-1987 passed by BOCC on
10/20/1987. Subsequent ordinances amending original ordinance: 019-1988, 003-1989, 040-1992,
026-1993, 015-2002, and 026-2007.

ORDINANCE NO. — 2012
AN ORDINANCE REPEALING MONROE COUNTY CODE SECTION
13-1; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR THE
REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES INCONSISTENT HEREWITH;
PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION INTO THE MONROE COUNTY
CODE OF ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, as originally drafted in 1987, Section 633.025 of the Florida Statutes stated
that each municipality, county and special district in Florida with fire safety responsibilities shall
adopt its own minimum firesafety standards; and
WHEREAS, in October 1987, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
therefore adopted via Ordinance No. 038-1987, which adopted the Standard Fire Prevention
Code, 1985 edition, for use in Monroe County as its Fire Prevention; and
WHEREAS, subsequently, the Board of County Commissioners amended Ordinance
No. 038-1987 from time to time to update the fire safety code being adopted for use as the
minimum standard in Monroe County, via Ordinance Nos. 019-1988, 003-1989, 040-1992, 026-
1993, 015-2002, and 026-2007; and
WHEREAS, on May 28, 1998, the Florida legislature enacted Ch. 98-287, Laws of
Florida, which amended Section 633.025(1), F.S., and provided that the Florida Fire Prevention
Code and the Life Safety Code adopted by the Florida Department of Insurance, operating in
conjunction with the Florida Building Code, shall be deemed adopted by each municipality,
county and special district with firesafety responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, Ch. 98-287, Laws of Florida, also amended Section 633.025(3), F.S., by
stating that the most current version of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101,
Life Safety Code, adopted by the Department of Insurance, shall be deemed adopted by each
municipality, county and special district with firesafety responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, the intention of Ch. 98-287 was to promote uniform fire safety standards
through the State; and
WHEREAS, the amendment to Section 633.025(1) and (3) obviated the need for
separate County ordinances to set minimum firesafety standards; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the foregoing, an update to Section 13-1 of the Monroe
County Code is also necessary because it contains a reference to an outdated version of the
National Fire Prevention Code and NFPA 101, Life Safety Code; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the foregoing, inasmuch as Monroe County Code Section
13-1 is no longer necessary in light of the amendments to Section 633.025(1) and (3), F.S., staff
recommends that the ordinance be repealed in its entirety.
