The International Fire Code, 2018 edition, as revised, (including
all appendix chapters of said code), published by the International
Code Council is hereby adopted as the municipal fire code of the city
for the purpose of protecting the health, safety and welfare of the
citizens of the city. This fire code is fully incorporated by reference
as though copied into this article in its entirety. The material contained
in the International Fire Code, although fully adopted and incorporated
by reference in this article, shall not be included in the formal
municipal codification of ordinances but shall be maintained as a
public record in the office of the city secretary.
(Ordinance 1270-2020, sec. 1, adopted 1/28/20; Ordinance
1398-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
The International Fire Code, 2018 edition, as adopted herein
is hereby amended to meet the unique fire safety needs of the city,
as shown in exhibit A attached to Ordinance 1398-2023.
(Ordinance 1270-2020, sec. 2, adopted 1/28/20; Ordinance
1398-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
The material contained in exhibit A to Ordinance 1398-2023,
although fully adopted and incorporated by reference, shall not be
included in the formal municipal codification of ordinances. The material
contained in exhibit A shall instead be maintained as a public record
in the office of the city secretary. This exhibit will be available
for public inspection and copying during regular business hours. The
purpose of maintaining these records separate and apart from the municipal
codification is to avoid the inclusion of detailed technical construction
materials, subject to frequent change, which would unreasonably lengthen
the code.
(Ordinance 1270-2020, sec. 3, adopted 1/28/20; Ordinance
1398-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
The city may from time to time determine that additional local
modifications to the codes adopted herein are necessary and appropriate
to meet the unique fire systems within the city. To effectuate modifications,
the city council may enact individual ordinances amending this division
fully setting forth the change to be made in the specific code. Such
subsequent amendments shall be consolidated as an exhibit to Ordinance
1398-2023 and shall be maintained as a public record in the office
of the city secretary.
(Ordinance 1270-2020, sec. 4, adopted 01/28/20; Ordinance
1398-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
Any person, firm or corporation who violates, disobeys, omits, neglects or refuses to comply with or who resists the enforcement of any of the provisions of this division shall be fined as provided in section
1.01.009 of this code. Each day that a violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense.
(Ordinance 1270-2020, sec. 5, adopted 01/28/20; Ordinance
1398-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
