BOCC declines to adopt Wildfire Mitigation Code now, schedules work sessions
Summary
Land use staff asked the board for direction on adopting the Building and Mechanical Code and a Wildfire Mitigation Code; Chair Mitchell Jarvies said the board would not approve a Wildfire Mitigation Code at this time, calling it an unfunded mandate, and the BOCC scheduled work sessions in February.
Land use administrator Linda DeHerrera asked the Board of County Commissioners for direction on whether to adopt a Building and Mechanical Code and a Wildfire Mitigation Code for the county. Chair Mitchell Jarvies said the BOCC would not approve the Wildfire Mitigation Code as presented, calling it an unfunded mandate for the county, and directed staff to schedule separate work sessions in February to continue review.
No formal action to adopt either code was taken; the board signaled opposition to immediate adoption of a wildfire code and set follow-up work sessions to continue discussion with staff.
