Erie delays WUI map update; ordinance draft remains under preparation
Summary
Mayor Robert Jenkins told council the Wildland-Urban Interface ordinance has been drafted but the required map is unfinished because staff were redeployed to fire response; the state has been notified and is willing to cooperate once Erie finalizes mapping.
Mayor Robert Jenkins said the city has the WUI ordinance drafted but the map that designates WUI areas remains unfinished because staff were redeployed amid an active fire season. "The ordinance is drafted. We're just waiting for the map to be updated given a lot of our fuels were burned up already," Jenkins said.
Jenkins said he has spoken with state officials and that they know Erie is working on the map and are willing to work with the city as it completes the product. There was no public discussion of changes to ordinance language at the work meeting; staff said the item remains in preparation and not ready for final action.
