Council approves first reading of fire-prevention code update
Summary
On first reading the council approved amendments to city code enabling the fire department to perform delegated plan review and inspections and to correct state code references.
Council Member Christiansen presented an ordinance for first reading on Aug. 25 that would amend subsection 400.21 and add subsection 400.22 to the city code to correct references to the adopted state fire code and to allow the Richfield Fire Department to take on delegated plan review and inspections from the state fire marshal.
Christiansen said the requested changes come from the fire department and are intended to align city code with the adopted state code and clarify delegated authority for plan review and inspections. By voice vote the council approved the ordinance’s first reading.
The first reading advances the ordinance to a later meeting for a required subsequent reading and any formal adoption steps; staff said they were available to answer questions.
