Resident and committee members urge intergovernmental coordination and local fact-finding on code changes

Cañon City General Government Committee · January 8, 2025

Summary

Council members and a resident called for coordination with the county and fire district and more local fact-finding before adopting new codes; resident Jay Clinker said he is "the devil in the details" and encouraged careful local analysis.

Council members urged alignment with the county and the local fire district so residents and contractors would not confront differing codes across adjacent jurisdictions. Kathy Olsh said she had discussed the topic with county and fire district officials and that Florence indicated interest in adopting the 2024 codes alongside Cañon City.

A member of the audience, who introduced himself as Jay Clinker, said he lives "up close to the Hogback" and described himself as "kind of the devil in the details," urging careful fact-finding and a cautious approach that considers local building stock and insurer behavior. Council welcomed audience input and asked staff to include contractor and insurer perspectives in follow-up materials.
