The Fortuna City Council conducted the second reading and adopted Ordinance 2026‑787 on Aug. 3, repealing and replacing Title 15 (building and construction) of the Fortuna Municipal Code to align with the 2025 California Building Code.
A presenter summarized that the ordinance mirrors the first reading and incorporates the city’s routine administrative amendments for Title 15. There were no questions from council and no public comment during the hearing. A council member moved to conduct the second reading and adopt the ordinance (read by title only); the clerk recorded unanimous affirmative votes and the mayor pro tem announced the motion passed.
The ordinance update brings Fortuna’s building regulations into parity with the state’s 2025 code; staff said the item had previously appeared at the July 20 meeting and that no substantive changes were introduced at the second reading. The council did not amend the ordinance during the Aug. 3 session.
