SALISBURY, N.C. (AP) — Officials in Salisbury are praising Livingstone College for working to reduce the number of fire code violations at the school.
The Salisbury Post reported (http://bit.ly/1tignqg) that City Manager Doug Paris said a recent meeting with college President Jimmy Jenkins had been productive.
Officials say Livingstone has had more than 1,000 fire code violations in the past four years and accrued more than $63,000 in fines. City officials say as of last month, all but eight of the violations have been resolved.
Jenkins has thanked the city for helping Livingstone develop a plan to reduce violations and false alarms.
Jenkins says the school's staff is working on a proposal to cover the fines.
