Pineville council adopts International Fire Code update; members call it 'housekeeping'
Summary
The council unanimously adopted an ordinance amending the city code to adopt the International Fire Codes, replacing expired local regulations. Council members said the update is largely housekeeping to align Pineville with standard codes.
The Pineville City Council voted April 14 to amend the municipal code to adopt the International Fire Codes, a change described by members as a housekeeping update to replace expired standards.
Council discussion was brief. A member summarized the measure as administrative housekeeping necessary because the city’s previous fire code had expired. “These are basically housekeeping,” one council member said during the discussion.
The ordinance was moved, seconded and approved by roll call; members recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed. Council members said the change will unify local regulations with the commonly used International Building and Fire Codes.
What happens next: the ordinance takes effect as specified by municipal code and staff will proceed with administrative steps to publish and implement the updated code.
