Title
City Council considering amendments to Title 20, "Fire Prevention", of the Sandy City Code

Presenter:
Gerald Strebel, Fire Marshal
Body
Description/Background:
The Fire Department originally presented this proposal to the City Council as Informational Report on February 5, 2025.
The international Fire Code (IFC) is regularly updated. On occasion the Fire Marshal requests that the City Council approve an ordinance adopting the current edition of the IFC, inlcuding the appendices. Our code currently identifies appendices from a specific edition of the IFC. Instead of asking for an amendment to our code each time a new edition of the IFC is released, the Fire Marshal asks the council to remove existing references to specific editions of the IFC from our code and too instead reference "the current edition." This change will effectively adopt the current edition of the IFC and allow the City to comply with future editions with less frequent amendments to our municipal code.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Motion to adopt Ordinance 25-07, an Ordinance amending Title 20, “Fire Prevention”, Chapter 1, “International Fire Code”, Section 1, “Adoption of International Fire Code” of Sandy City Code, together with appendices b, c, d, f, h and n; also providing a saving clause for the ordinance and an effective date.
