Randolph schedules March public meeting to adopt Wildland Urban Interface code to comply with House Bill 48
Summary
Guest Travis Hobbs presented a Wildland Urban Interface map and told the Randolph Town Board the town must adopt the Wildland Interface Code to comply with House Bill 48; the board agreed to hold a public meeting in March to consider the ordinance and Hobbs will forward the code in ordinance format.
Mayor Sim Bell opened the Feb. 11 Randolph Town Board meeting and introduced a presentation from guest Travis Hobbs on the Wildland Urban Interface.
Travis Hobbs presented a map showing Randolph’s Wildland Urban Interface and said the town will need to adopt the Wildland Interface Code to comply with recently passed House Bill 48. Hobbs told the board he will forward an email from the Black Regional Advisory Group (BRAG) containing the code formatted as an ordinance for the town’s review. Mayor Sim Bell said the Town will hold a public meeting at its March town board meeting to consider adopting the ordinance so the town “will be in compliance with the State code” once adopted.
The board did not vote on the ordinance at this meeting; members agreed to schedule the March public meeting to allow time for the town to review the text Hobbs will circulate. The presentation included a map of Randolph’s Wildland Urban Interface; Hobbs and the mayor emphasized the need to review boundary and applicability details before a formal adoption vote.
Next steps set at the meeting: Hobbs will forward the ordinance-format email from BRAG to town officials, the board will place the ordinance on the March agenda as a public-meeting item, and staff will distribute materials in advance so board members and the public can review the proposed code.
