Council tables Ordinance 26‑541 updating property‑maintenance code to fix agenda clerical error
Summary
Staff introduced Ordinance 26‑541 to adopt the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code into the city code but noted the agenda cited the wrong chapter; council voted to table the item so staff can re-notice it correctly and return in July.
Staff introduced an ordinance (No. 26‑541) to adopt the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code into the city of Richwood’s municipal code but acknowledged a clerical error in the agenda package referencing the wrong chapter. City staff and the attorney agreed the substantive amendment was unchanged but that the item must be re‑noticed with the correct chapter location in the code.
"This is a cleanup ordinance. We already have this code in our code ordinances; it's just not mentioning what year we use," staff said, and asked the council to table the item so it can be re‑agendized with the correct chapter (chapter 6, article 2, section 23 was noted as the correct placement). Council moved to table the ordinance and approved the motion; staff said it will be brought back in July with corrected language and placement.
No change to enforcement or substantive code provisions was made at this meeting; tabling was procedural to correct the published agenda and chapter reference.
