Drexel Heights board adopts fire code amendments; Dailey dissents
Summary
After a public hearing and staff explanation that the changes align the district with nearby jurisdictions, the board adopted amendments to the fire code (Resolution 2026-10) by a 3-1 vote; Board Member Laura Dailey voted nay.
The Drexel Heights Fire District Governing Board on June 26 adopted amendments to the district’s fire code after a public hearing and staff presentation. The motion to adopt Resolution 2026-10 was made by Board Chair Gary Bynum and seconded by James Bertrand; the motion passed 3-1 with Laura Dailey voting against adoption.
Community Risk Reduction Director Dennis Stiegleiter told the board the amendments "needed to match the Town of Sahuarita and Santa Rita Fire District so it is the same for the inspectors." He added that the electric operating gate language was not a new requirement: "Businesses have a manual override so emergency services can get in." Dailey asked several clarifying questions before registering her dissent on the final vote.
