Council adopts International Code updates and dissolves Board of Health by unanimous vote

The Laramie City Council on Sept. 16 passed two ordinances on third reading by unanimous votes to adopt the International Code series updates and to remove the Board of Health as an official city board.

Both ordinances passed 9-0 according to the meeting record. Council members thanked current and former members of the Board of Health during the discussion; the meeting transcript records the council’s expression of thanks but does not include full statements from board members.

The International Code adoption updates municipal code language to align with the International Code series; the third-reading approval indicates the council completed the final legislative step recorded in this meeting. The separate ordinance eliminating the Board of Health will remove that advisory or governing body from the city’s official list of boards; the transcript does not specify transition steps for any outstanding Board of Health responsibilities.

The council did not record a timeline for implementation of the code-adoption changes or for transferring any duties formerly held by the Board of Health. Those administrative details may appear in subsequent staff reports or council agendas.
