Lewis County adopts trail‑system and building‑code local laws; one legislator records a 'No' on code amendment
Summary
The board adopted Local Law No. 4 (2026) to reestablish the Lewis County Trail System and adopted Local Law No. 5 (2026) updating administration and enforcement of the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. The building-code law passed with a recorded no vote from Legislator Leyendecker.
The Lewis County Board of Legislators approved two introductory local laws on July 7.
Resolution adopting Local Law No. 4 (2026) to reestablish the Lewis County Trail System was moved and passed with affirmative votes recorded during a roll call. The law resumes county-level trail planning and reflects consultant work on the Veil Trail Master Plan reported earlier by the General Services committee.
The board also adopted Local Law No. 5 (2026), an amended local law providing for administration and enforcement of the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. The roll call on that resolution recorded one 'No' vote by Legislator Leyendecker and affirmative votes from other members; the transcript records the matter passing. Committee reports noted the county is transitioning permitting processes and evaluating an electronic permitting platform.
