Council clears technical ordinances: cross‑connection and fire‑severity map updates
Summary
On consent-like items, Blue Lake completed second readings and adopted Ordinances 549 (cross‑connection control) and 545 (fire hazard severity map conformance). Staff noted recordkeeping and inspection responsibilities tied to cross‑connection devices.
The council conducted second readings and adopted two technical ordinances. Ordinance 549 updates the municipal code for the city’s cross‑connection control program; staff warned the program requires recordkeeping and periodic inspections of backflow prevention devices and that staff time and an inspection fee will be needed to administer the program. Ordinance 545 restates the city’s adoption of the California fire hazard severity zone map with corrected titling and dates.
Staff opened public hearings and received no public opposition on either item. The council waived additional readings and adopted both ordinances by roll call. Staff noted ongoing implementation tasks, including record tracking for cross‑connection devices and coordinating any required inspections and invoicing.
