Bernhoft Report: Back in 2022, it had been brought to our attention that there was a need to create a policy regarding lock box requirements for new developments. A lock box is an exterior secured box that houses entry keys for a structure. The key to the box is held by the Fire Department and can be used during an emergency to access a secure area quickly. Our emergency services are requesting formal recognition through the code to require developers to include lock bock locations in specific designated areas for ease of emergency access. Currently, these locations vary and cause severe delays when responding to an emergency. Any addition to the code would need to be “structures constructed after January 1, 2024 shall be equipped with a key lock box at or near the main entrance or such location designated by the Fire chief.” We discussed this ordinance update with the Administrator for the Village of Kimberly as well as we do share emergency services with them and to create continuity for that service, in case it is needed. Fiscal Impact: N/A Recommendation/Board Action: Provide staff with initial feedback and give us direction to proceed with drafting the ordinance. No formal action required at this meeting. We are awaiting information from the Village of Kimberly before we proceed with a public hearing. Respectfully Submitted, Beau Bernhoft, Village Administrator
