Council advances first reading of building-code update amid insurance concerns
Summary
The council approved the first reading of Ordinance 2024-2 updating building codes. City Manager said updates help prevent higher insurance rates and must be undertaken periodically to stay current with ISO assessments.
The Council heard the first reading of Ordinance 2024-2, an amendment to Jacinto City’s building-code ordinance, and approved the ordinance on first reading.
City Attorney Jim Defoyd read the ordinance aloud. City Manager Lon Squyres said the city updates codes roughly every decade to keep them contemporary and to avoid adverse impacts to fire and property insurance ratings after audits by the Insurance Services Office (ISO). Council Member Robinson moved to accept the first reading; Council Member Gonzales seconded, and the motion passed.
