Cudahy approves first reading of ordinance to adopt 2025 building-code amendments
Summary
The council opened and closed a public hearing and approved on first reading Ordinance 765 to amend the Cudahy Municipal Code to adopt Los Angeles County's 2025 amendments to the 2025 California Building Code; staff said the only city fiscal impact is $3,600 to purchase codebooks required for reference.
Cudahy — The City Council opened a public hearing, received no public comment, and approved Ordinance 765 on first reading to amend chapters of the Cudahy Municipal Code to adopt Los Angeles County's 2025 amendments to the 2025 California Building Code.
Raul Diaz, Public Works, summarized the item and told council "the financial impact to the city is only $3,600 to buy a set of codebooks that we need to have on-site just, for reference." He said the state moves on a three-year building-code cycle and that the county adopts local amendments.
Because there were no members of the public present to comment, the council closed the hearing and voted to approve the ordinance by first reading, with a roll call conducted for the vote.
Why it matters: adopting the county's 2025 amendments brings local code language into alignment with Los Angeles County and the state cycle; staff described the $3,600 cost as required to maintain on-site reference copies of the codebooks.
Next steps: staff will follow up on any ministerial steps needed to finalize the code update after the council's first-reading approval.
