Chair asks that Knoxbox ordinance remove Fire Marshal discretion; vote set for May meeting
Summary
Chair Alan Laliberte asked April 27 that draft language in a proposed Knoxbox ordinance be changed so that the Fire Marshal’s discretion becomes a mandatory requirement, and commissioners scheduled a vote at the May meeting after discussion of existing buildings.
Chair Alan Laliberte told the commission April 27 that he prefers changing the draft Knoxbox ordinance language so that Fire Marshal discretion becomes a mandatory requirement. Laliberte said the ordinance should read that a Knoxbox is required — "must have" — wherever the draft currently gives the Fire Marshal discretion.
Commissioners discussed how the change would affect existing buildings and agreed to place the ordinance on the agenda for a vote at the May meeting. No final ordinance was adopted at the April session; the item remains under unfinished business.
Next steps: the commission will take up the Knoxbox ordinance at its May meeting for a formal vote.
