PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles at a regular meeting of said Council held on the 5, day of , 1984. ATTEST: Craig D . nutson, City Attorney d,,,,4044t&ft- PUBLISHED: MEMORANDUM 4IVay 4, 1984 TO: City Council FROM: City Attorney RE: Fire Alarm Ordinance ISSUE: Revision of the proposed Fire Alarm Ordinance to address the liability concerns raised by the City Council. ANALYSIS: At the May 1, 1984, City Council meeting, the Council raised concerns with liability exposure due to the Fire Chief's discretion in approving automatic fire detection devices under Section 3(E) at page 5 of the proposed Fire Alarm Ordinance. To address this concern, we have revised Section 3(E) by requiring that automatic fire detection devices that are not UL approved must be consistent with the criteria set forth for automatic detection devices in NFPA 72 E. By adopting, and requiring compliance with, national standards, liability exposure is reduced while at the same time allowing for new types of automatic fire detection devices that have not yet had the time or financial backing to obtain approval by a nationally- recognized testing agency. There is at least one local supplier of such devices that will benefit by providing for this alternative. Also attached is a proposed Hold Harmless Waiver and Agreement that will be used in the case of homeowners who want to hook up their non - required residential fire alarm systems to a listed or approved alarm center. The reason for such a Hold Harmless Waiver and Agreement is to allow non - required residential systems to hook up to a listed or approved alarm center without subjecting the City to liability. In other words, it is the homeowner's choice. If he wants to take advantage of the alarm center service, he must agree to the Hold Harmless Waiver and Agreement. You will see that the Hold Harmless Waiver and Agreement contains a clause at the top of page two which addresses the Council's concern regarding liability to subsequent purchasers. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Council consider the proposed changes and Hold Harmless Waiver and Agreement, and if said documents meet with the Council's concerns regarding liability, the Council adopt the ggropos Fire Alarm Ordinance as revised.
