Summary
Ordinance No. 08-26, recently adopted by the City Commission of Delray Beach, amends Chapter 96 of the city’s Code of Ordinances concerning fire safety and emergency services. The ordinance repeals and reestablishes the section on Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and Bleeding Control Kits, correcting a prior error that placed definitions in the Land Development Regulations instead of the Code of Ordinances. It mandates that all business occupancies over 20,000 square feet provide AEDs and Bleeding Control Kits, clarifies installation requirements, and gives the Fire Marshal discretion on their placement. This legislation affects approximately 700 businesses, enhancing public safety and aligning with Florida Statute provisions for civil liability immunity.
