Council adopts ordinance updating system development charges to align with state law on residential sprinklers
Summary
The Scappoose City Council adopted Ordinance 923, amending Scappoose Municipal Code Chapter 13.24 to comply with state House Bill 3505 on system development charges for residential fire sprinklers.
The Scappoose City Council adopted Ordinance No. 923 on second reading, amending Scappoose Municipal Code Chapter 13.24 to conform with state law regarding system development charges for residential fire sprinkler systems.
Why it matters: The ordinance amends the city's SDC (system development charge) code provision to reflect statutory changes referenced in House Bill 3505. City staff told the council the draft ordinance implements the required changes and no additional staff revisions were necessary at second reading.
Council action: The mayor announced the second reading and noted that the ordinance had received a first and second at the prior meeting; the council then voted “aye” and the mayor declared the motion to adopt Ordinance 923 carried. The council did not record individual member roll-call votes in the minutes excerpted at the meeting.
Practical effect: The ordinance updates the city's SDC provisions for residential fire sprinklers so that local code aligns with the state statute cited in the staff report. Community Development Director Lori Oliver Joseph was present and confirmed there were no further edits needed at the second reading.
The council recorded no additional action tied to Ordinance 923 at the meeting.
