STAFF REPORT
To: City Council
From: John Williams, City Manager
Date: January 14, 2019
Proceeding Type: New Business
Subject: Ordinance to update MLMC 16.52
Legislative History:
• First Presentation: January 22, 2019
• Second presentation: February 12, 2019
• Action: Consider Adoption of Ordinance on February 12th
Staff Report Summary
Moses Lake Municipal Code Chapter 16.52 addresses the installation and maintenance of
automatic fire extinguishing systems. Changes in the certification requirements outlined in the
State Fire Code for design work, installation, and maintenance are incorporated in the revised
ordinance.
Background
Changes adopted at the state level requiring NICET Level III certification for design work for plan
submittal, NICET Level II for installation and maintenance, and ICC or equivalent certification levels
for work on special hazard systems are incorporated into the MLMC.
The incorporation into MLMC allows the jurisdiction to locally adopt the certification requirements
for work on fire suppression and other fire protection systems, and additionally allows design
submittal by registered professional engineers in lieu of NICET certification.
Fiscal and Policy Implications
Page 2 of 2
Options
Option Results
• Adopt the ordinance amending
MLMC 16.52
Requires that only individuals certified by
nationally recognized testing and standards
practices are allowed to work on required fire
suppression and alarm systems. Requires the
possession of a City of Moses Lake Business
License to perform this type of work in the City.
• Take no action. Enforcement would fall under state fire code
as a misdemeanor versus a civil infraction
regulated under MLMC, and would not allow
the flexibility to accept plans drawn by
registered professional engineers.
Staff Recommendation
1st Presentation – No action required.
