WHEREAS the Village of Tequesta 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 to protect us in the buildings where we live,learn,work and play,and;
WHEREAS these modern building codes include safeguards to protect the public from hazards such as
hurricanes,snowstorms,tornadoes,wildland fires,floods and earthquakes,and;

critical role of our communities'largely unknown protectors of public safety—our local code officials—who
assure us of safe,sustainable and affordable buildings that are essential to our prosperity,and;

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 and state building
departments,fire prevention bureaus and federal agencies in protecting lives and property.
