Drexel Heights board adopts fire-code amendments to align with neighboring districts; Dailey votes no
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2026-10 adopting amendments to the District's fire code to align standards with the Town of Sahuarita and Santa Rita Fire District; the motion passed 3-1 with Board Member Laura Dailey dissenting.
The Drexel Heights Governing Board voted 3-1 to adopt amendments to the District's fire code under Resolution 2026-10. Community Risk Reduction Director Dennis Stiegleiter told the board the changes are intended to "match the Town of Sahuarita and Santa Rita Fire District so it is the same for the inspectors." Board Member Laura Dailey cast the lone dissenting vote.
During discussion Ms. Dailey asked whether Rincon Valley would also change its code; Stiegleiter said Rincon Valley "will revisit to match our code." Stiegleiter also clarified that the electric operating gate provision is not new and that businesses have manual override access so emergency services can enter when necessary.
