West Milwaukee amends fire code to reference latest International Fire Code

Village Board of the Village of West Milwaukee · July 6, 2026

Summary

Trustees approved an amendment to chapter 42 of the Village Code to reference the 'most current legislatively enacted versions of the International Fire Code (I.C.C.)' instead of naming a specific edition (ordinance amendment 03-O-26).

The West Milwaukee Village Board voted unanimously on July 6 to amend chapter 42 (Fire Prevention, Protection, and Control) of the village code to reference the most current legislatively enacted versions of the International Fire Code (I.C.C.) rather than listing a specific edition.

Trustee Jane Edgar moved the change and Trustee Todd Hill seconded; the roll-call vote was recorded as unanimous. The amendment was presented by the Legislative Committee and recorded in the minutes as ordinance amendment 03-O-26. The board did not record debate in the minutes beyond the motion and the vote.

What this means: referencing the "most current" legislatively enacted I.C.C. language allows the village to automatically align with updates adopted at the legislative level without updating chapter text for each new edition. The minutes do not specify administrative implementation steps or an effective date beyond the date of passage.
