Memo 2nd reading ord 2003-901 section 400 . .. City of Hopkins Inspections Division Memorandum To: Mayor Eugene J. Maxwell and Members of the City Council From: Rick Davidson, Building Official Da~: April 7,2003 Re: Second Reading of Ordinance 2003-901 Staff recommends that the City Council approve the following motion: Move that the Hopkins City Council approve Ordinance 2003-901 for second readinq, approve Summary Ordinance 2003-901, and order Summary Ordinance 2003-901 published. This is the second reading of an ordinance that amends Section 400 of the Hopkins City Code related to the adoption of the State Building Code. There is one amendment to this ordinance since the first reading. The state fire code is also ready for adoption at this time. The state fire code adopts by reference the International Fire Code, a companion to the International Building Code, which is adopted, by reference by the state building code. The State Fire Code, by statute, is effective throughout the State of Minnesota. Since it is a minimum code we cannot be less restrictive. We've also removed one line in the City fire code adoption regarding basement fire sprinkler protection since the new code makes this item obsolete. To save time in going through another ordinance adoption, we are hoping to add the fire code adoption as an amendment. Attachments: . Ordinance 2003-901 . Summary of Ordinance 2003-901 .
