Agenda Item Title:
Title
Fire Department recommending the Council consider amendments to Title 20, "Fire Prevention", of the Sandy City Code
Body
Presenter:
Gerald Strebel, Fire Marshal
Description/Background:
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.
Further action to be taken:
This is an informational presentation, a voting item on this matter will come to the council during a future meeting.
