International Existing Building Code presented
Fire Chief Marc Lowery presented his report to the City Council on Thursday, May 22. He reported that the new fire station could be moved into as early as next week.
“We are having a final walk-through with the architect on Friday (May 23), and hopefully we can move in next week.”
“The Dollar General on Pine Street and the Baxter Health Facility completed all their inspections in May. We are also finished with Bryan Properties, so that’s good,” he said.
“I’ve also included a proposed ordinance to update the city's Fire Prevention Code. I tried to highlight the changes in the 15 pages. One of the bigger things we want you to be aware of is the International Existing Building Code. This code gives us options for existing buildings around the city or older buildings downtown. If you have to apply the strict building codes to older buildings, it’s difficult. We’ve updated and clarified our previous code. I’d like you to read this and bring it up again at the Council meeting,” Lowery said.

Some of the Public Works guys are still cleaning out the storm drain that flows into Crooked Creek. Colton Ramsey said he thought they had taken out at least 40 dump truck loads of gravel and trees that washed into the drain during the recent heavy rains. Ashley Harness was operating the wheeled skid steer and said they had cleared the drain as far as South Cherry St.
