WHEREAS, changes occurring in state government have delegated the duties of <br />fire safety inspections of public schools, nursing homes and other health care facilities <br />to the District resulting in the District spending an increased amount of time conducting <br />fire safety inspections to the point that additional personnel are needed and additional <br />funds must be generated as a result of these duties performed by the District; <br />WHEREAS, the sale of fireworks from temporary structures such as tents or <br />other open air type stands presents a danger to the public at large; and <br />WHEREAS, that from time to time the fire district spends an extraordinary <br />amount of time or service in the course of their duties and the persons responsible for <br />causing the extraordinary expenditure of time or resources should reimburse the District <br />for costs incurred; and <br />WHEREAS, the District plays a vital role in examining plans and conducting <br />inspections for new buildings and new developments. Recent trends have indicated a <br />much greater amount of time will need to be dedicated to these important functions and <br />that the entities that request those services should pay a reasonable amount to defer <br />those costs incurred in obtaining that service, <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY <br />COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, as follows: <br />PART I: ESTABLISHES, AMENDS AND RESTATES INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT AS PART I: GENERAL PROVISIONS OF <br />CHAPTER 208 OF THE CODE OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA. <br />CHAPTER 208.
