A records management system selected by the Lodi Fire Department (LFD) will be an lnternet-based lnspection Report Management System utilized primarily for submitting life-safety inspection reports to the LFD. Life-safety systems include water based sprinkler systems, private fire hydrants, fire alarms, fire pumps, engineered chemical suppression systems and pre-engineered chemical systems (Restaurant & lndustrial). Any contractor chosen by a business within the City of Lodi to perform these services must be certified by the state to inspect, test, repair and maintain the systems in place. Electronic filing will facilitate communication between the property owners/occupants, the LFD and the inspection contractors. lt will increase efficiencies and organization and therefore improve code compliance. The current code requires records of all system inspections, tests, and maintenance reports to be copied to the Fire Code Official upon request. This ordinance will require all of the above mentioned life-safety inspection reports and testing results to be filed electronically. Staff recommends that the City Council introduce the ordinance adding the above-referenced Lodi Municipal Code section in conformity with the California Fire Code and Title 19 of the California Code of Regulations.
