The Honorable Larry R. Curtis, Mayor
and Members of the City Council
of the City of Ames, Iowa
Re: Municipal Fire Code
Dear Mayor Curtis and Council Members:
The recent revision of the Municipal Fire Code, Chapter 8, included changes
to the procedures for designating fire lanes. In the past, each location
of a fire lane had to be completely described and set forth in the body of
the ordinance. This was cumbersome because it required council action and
republication of the ordinance each time a new fire lane location was
added. The recent changes to Chapter 8 changed this procedure so that the
Fire Inspector and Chief may now designate fire lanes and these locations
will be published in one appendix to the Code.
The ordinance change proposed on the attachment revises the reference to
fire lanes found in the parking enforcement regulations of Chapter 18.
This section had previously referred to fire lanes at locations specified
and set out in Chapter 8. Since the new procedure takes the specific
locations out of Chapter 8 and puts them in an appendix, this section
should be revised to delete the reference to Chapter 8.
Sincerely,
tX-"
