Lake County board votes to amend fire‑code language to match Leadville ordinance
Summary
The Lake County board approved a staff recommendation to remove a provision from Resolution 22‑13 that duplicated an International Fire Code alarm requirement the city had omitted; staff will administratively revise the county resolution and forward it for formal adoption by the Board of County Commissioners.
The Lake County board voted to delete a note in its 2022 resolution referencing voice‑activated alarm initiation for certain Group A (assembly) occupancies so the county language aligns with the City of Leadville’s ordinance.
Staff told the board the request came from Safari Security & Integration LLC through Craig Ouellet, who asked that the resolution “follow the code as written” rather than include the county’s inserted sentence. Staff explained the city's ordinance did not include the questioned paragraph and that the difference appears to have been an inadvertent inclusion when staff compiled the county resolution from fire‑marshal materials.
Luke Corning moved to delete the note under International Fire Code provision 907.20.10.1 so county language would align with the City of Leadville; a staff member seconded the motion. The chair called for those in favor, members said “Aye,” and the transcript records: “Motion passes.” The transcript does not include a precise roll‑call tally for each named member.
Staff said legal and administrative work will follow: county staff will prepare a revised resolution and record it with a resolution number before forwarding the recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.
“Craig is asking that we go ahead and amend the resolution now,” staff told the board, adding that the county attorney had indicated the change was administratively acceptable. The board approved the change and charged staff with completing the paperwork for formal adoption by the commissioners.
Next steps: staff will prepare the redline/resubmitted resolution and coordinate with the county attorney and the Board of County Commissioners for final recording.
