Drexel Heights adopts fire code changes to align with neighboring districts; Dailey votes ‘no’
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2026-10 amending the district fire code to align inspection requirements with nearby jurisdictions; the motion passed 3-1 with Board Member Laura Dailey dissenting.
The Drexel Heights Fire District Governing Board adopted amendments to the district's fire code on June 26, approving Resolution 2026-10 amid questions from Board Member Laura Dailey about the need for changes.
Community Risk Reduction Director Dennis Stiegleiter told the board the amendments are intended to match the Town of Sahuarita and Santa Rita Fire District, creating consistency for inspectors; he also said Rincon Valley intends to revisit its code to align. Dailey asked specifically about electric operating gates; Stiegleiter said the change is not new and that businesses retain a manual override so emergency services can gain entry. The motion to adopt carried 3-1; Ms. Dailey cast the lone nay vote.
The minutes do not record a formal amendment to the proposed language on the floor or any public comments during the hearing. The board adopted the resolution by recorded motion and vote.
