Council adopts ordinance repealing Chapter 15.04 to defer to state fire code
Summary
Council adopted ordinance (11 o 7) repealing Chapter 15.04; the deputy fire chief said the change removes a local option so the State Fire Marshal’s office enforces the cited code.
The Sutherlin City Council adopted Ordinance 11 o 7 to repeal Chapter 15.04, a move described at the meeting as removing a local option and aligning enforcement with the State Fire Marshal.
"This is just removing that, the option of the Oregon fire code," said Deputy Fire Chief Scott McKnight (S6), explaining the change before the council moved to adopt the ordinance. The city recorder read the ordinance title aloud prior to the vote.
Councilor Hamilton moved to adopt the ordinance; the motion was seconded on the record and carried with all members voting Aye. The council’s vote list recorded Ayes from Councilor Woods, Councilor Daigle, Councilor Smalley, Councilor Hamilton, Council President Whitaker and Mayor Summer.
No speakers at the meeting offered public opposition during the formal agenda discussion. The ordinance was described in the meeting as clarifying enforcement authority and removing the local code option; the council did not discuss implementation steps or timing at length during this session.
