Summary

Council approved an ordinance amending Title 10-5-5B3 to reflect updates in the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), allowing pool covers in lieu of latched gates where appropriate.

The council approved ordinance 07-07-2026A on July 7 to amend city code Title 10-5-5B3 governing rear setback areas and pool-safety provisions. City Manager Goodwin said the change is "pretty simple" and aligns local code with the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, which now allows a closed pool cover as an alternative to a latched gate.

A public hearing was opened and no members of the public spoke. Council member Guedes moved approval of the ordinance "subject to no other conditions," the motion was seconded, and the council recorded affirmative votes in roll call; the mayor noted one council member was absent and the measure passed.
