@(Q)~})?
Dear Governor Cuomo:
This letter is in support of the correspondence t~ you from the Town
of Wappinger Fire Prevention Bureau dated February 27, 1990 regarding their
request for a change in legislature to allow local Code Enforcement Officers
to have jurisdiction in enforcing the Uniform Code in our public school
buildings.
At the present time, Title 19 Part 411.2E of the New York Code, Rules
and Regu1ations'states that the State Education Department shall be account-.
able for administration and enforcement of the Uniform Code in all school
buildings. However, it is being proven, all too often, that the present
review and inspection procedures of our public schools are not adequate and
we therefore request ~hat legislature be enacted to place all buildings
currently under the State Education Department into the jurisdiction of the
local enforcement agencies. .
We look forward to your affirmative consideration of this request by
the Fire Prevention Bureau of the Town of Wappinger to help the local juris-
dictions enforce the State Uniform Code in our public school buildings.
Firematica1ly yours,
~t41 J774ff!~
~~~ii. M. Tompkins, Secretary
