King County is proposing to enter into interlocal agreements with the Renton Regional Fire Authority and the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority that would allow these agencies to provide fire inspection services within unincorporated King County. The interlocal agreements provide the opportunity for the local agencies, who have familiarity with the communities they serve, and who provide fire protection services to the same communities, to take the lead on administering inspection services.
The interlocal agreements establish: 1) roles and responsibilities of the county and the fire department; 2) procedures for fee collection, inspections, correcting fire code violations, and permit issuance; and 3) access to county records necessary to carry out the provisions of the agreement.
Public comments on this draft proposed ordinance will be accepted from August 14 through September 14 and may be submitted via email, U.S. mail, or voicemail (see “How to comment” below). Note: Any public comments received are public records and are subject to public disclosure.
