' From the Offic~of the Fire Marshal CITY OF LA PORTE IN7ER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM T0: City Administrator, Jim Hudgens DATE: 2-21-80 FROM: Paul R. Hickenbottom, Assistant Fire Marshal SUBJECT: Amending Smoke Detector Ordinance ~~1093. It has become necessary to ask that this Ordinance be amended since its passage September 19, 1977, for the following reasons: I am requesting that Section 1 be amended because this Ordinance was made a part of the 1976 Edition of the Standard Building Code with no saving clause, and when the 1979 Edition of the Standard Building Code is adopted, this Ordinance will have to be re-adopted. I am requesting that Section 1 be amended to include 1976 Edition, or currently enforced building code, heretofore adopted. In Section 1 Paragraph 2, I am requesting this amendment to • also include duplex and boarding house, since these were inadvertently left out of the first Ordinance. Location of smoke detector section has been more clearly defined because of the response`'from installers that the present Ordinance was-too vague. Final approval is anew section. I am requesting this section be included for clarification of responsibility. I am requesting that Section 2 be amended to include the words duplex and townhouse complex, which were inadvertently left out of the first Ordinance. I am requesting that Section 3 be amended to include boarding house and duplex, because again, they were left out of the first Ordinance. I am requesting that Section 4 be amended to exclude two-family dwellings. Section 5 stays the same. CJ
