Summary
At its Sept. 8 meeting the Board of Aldermen unanimously adopted ordinances amending Title 5, Chapter 500 (code official duties) and adopting St. Louis County electrical and plumbing codes into the municipal code.
Town and Country — The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved two ordinances Sept. 8 that amend the municipal building-code provisions and incorporate St. Louis County electrical and plumbing codes.
The board passed bill number 25-36, which amends Title 5, Chapter 500 of the municipal code by revising section 500.07 concerning the city’s code official. The board also passed bill number 25-37, which amends sections 500.05 and 500.06 to adopt St. Louis County electrical and plumbing codes by reference. Both measures passed on roll-call votes and were recorded as ordinances 4707 and 4708.
Why it matters: The amendments clarify the city’s code-official authority and bring the city’s electrical and plumbing standards into alignment with county-adopted codes by formal reference. Board members gave no extended debate on the measures and supported approval by unanimous vote.
