MEETING OF JUNE 15, 2021
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brad Hardin, Fire Chief
DATE: May 24, 2021
CITY COUNCIL MEMO
SUBJECT: Staff requests Council approval of an ordinance to allow the fire department to
contract with a software company for a reporting system for fire protection systems inside the
City of Fayetteville.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Fayetteville Fire Department recommends the adoption of the ordinance to allow the use of
a inspection reporting system as outlined in the City Council packet.
BACKGROUND:
The City Attorney's Office and the Fire Marshal's Office worked together to develop this
ordinance to allow the Fayetteville Fire Department to contract with a software company for data
compilation pertaining to Fire Protection Systems in businesses and organizations within the
city. In addition to Fayetteville, Springdale and Rogers are in the process of adopting this
system in their respective jurisdictions.
DISCUSSION:
The Arkansas Fire Prevention Code requires periodic testing and maintenance of all fire
protection equipment; to include fire sprinkler, fire alarm and hood vent systems. The fire code
also requires that the third -party inspector of included fire protection systems submit completed
inspection reports as directed by the fire code official. The current system has some inspections
being submitted by fax, some by email, some by mail and others are not submitted at all. For
example, out of the 753 active fire sprinkler systems in the City, the Fayetteville Fire Marshals
Office received 361 inspection reports over the preceding 12 months. This system will help us to
track fire protection systems, increase inspection and testing code compliance, reduce false
alarms activity and ensure a safer community. Moving to this type of inspection reporting system
will allow us to efficiently review and track inspections; will allow us to develop a follow-up
inspection process, reduce administrative tasks and help us gather detailed analytics to assist in
our accreditation process. The system we are requesting is similar to the backflow inspection
reporting system that is currently being used by the City of Fayetteville Water Department.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
There is not a budget impact or cost to the city with regards to this ordinance approval
