A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA OPPOSING ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 1684
RELATING TO CONSTRUCTION SITE TOILETS
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill No. 1684 seeks to amend
sections of the Health and Safety Code relating to con-
struction sites, to require additional inspection duties by
building inspectors of toilets on construction job sites;
and
WHEREAS, historically the City of Santa Ana has
received no complaints from tradesmen in the field, or-
ganized labor, the general public, or the Orange County
Health Department Division of Environmental Sanitation
regarding the sanitary conditions of toilet facilities at
construction sites; and
WHEREAS, said bill would require the Building
Department to log periodic, or continuous, head counts of
those working at a construction job site to determine the
adequacy of toilet facilities; and
WHEREAS, the city has a limited number of building
inspectors, who can better spend their time for more press-
ing problems relating to enforcement of the Uniform Building
Code, and other life safety regulations; and
WHEREAS, in the spirit of Proposition 13, the City
of Santa Ana does not wish to hire additional building in-
spectors for the purpose of observing toilet requirements on
a job site.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA:
