Nutter Fort council advances smoke detector repeal and landlord-registration changes on first reading
Summary
The town council approved first readings of Ordinance 2024-10 (repealing Article 1511 on smoke detectors) and Ordinance 2024-11 (amending landlord registration rules). Both measures passed unanimously and will return for further consideration.
The Town of Nutter Fort Council on Sept. 10 advanced two ordinances on their first readings: Ordinance 2024-10, which repeals Article 1511 of the codified ordinances relating to smoke detectors, and Ordinance 2024-11, which amends Articles 777.09 and 777.11 on landlord registration for clarity. Both measures passed their first reading by unanimous vote.
Councilor Charlene Louk moved in support of Ordinance 2024-10 and Councilor Karen Phillips seconded; Councilor Rick Lafferty moved in support of Ordinance 2024-11 with Councilor Charlene Louk seconding. The minutes state the smoke-detector update was undertaken "to bring the codified ordinances to present day standards." The council recorded unanimous approval on both first readings. The ordinances will be scheduled for subsequent readings per the town's ordinance-adoption process.
The first-reading votes mean the measures remain under consideration rather than adopted as final law. The council did not record further debate in the minutes; no amendments were proposed at this meeting. Residents or interested parties seeking more information were directed to the town clerk for copies of the ordinance texts.
