Mableton council approves notice of intent to adopt state fire standards; finalizes step in fire-service IGA
Summary
The City Council voted Jan. 28 to approve a resolution notifying the state insurance commissioner's office of Mableton’s intent to adopt state fire standards as part of the Intergovernmental Agreement to assume fire services with Cobb County.
Mableton — The Mableton City Council on Jan. 28 approved a resolution to notify the state insurance commissioner's office of the city's intent to adopt state fire standards, a statutory step tied to the city's planned intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Cobb County to assume fire services.
City Attorney (unnamed) told the council the vote is a checklist statutory requirement that follows earlier council authorization to give formal notice to the county. The resolution completes the required notice steps before finalizing the IGA, the attorney said.
Councilmember (motion maker not identified in the record) moved to approve the resolution; the motion was seconded and the council voted in favor with no opposition.
Ending: City staff said finalization of the IGA and related ordinance-language adjustments remain (including a subsequent agreement and final paperwork). The city will proceed with the remaining steps to formally align Mableton’s fire-service standards with the state and county arrangements.
