MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: BRADD K. CLARK
FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF ICC INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE
ORDINANCE NO. 922
DATE: June 25, 2008
JUL 01 ZU08
BACKGROUND:
The current City Code of Ordinances, Part 13 Public Safety, Chapter 1 "Fire Prevention
Code," adopts the National Fire Protection Code as the code enforced for fire prevention
measures.
The proposed ordinance more appropriately adopts the International Code Council (ICC)
International Fire Code. The International Fire Code is the code referenced and utilized
by the Owasso Fire Marshal as well as the State Fire Marshal for existing and new
construction issues.
The ordinance, if approved, provides for the adoption of the entire International Fire
Code, as if the entire code were set out at length within the ordinance. Adoption of this
ordinance would provide for regulating and governing the conditions and maintenance of
all property, buildings, and structures; by providing the standard for supplied utilities and
facilities and other physical things and conditions essential to ensure that structures are
safe, sanitary, and fit for occupation and use; and the condemnation of buildings and
structures unfit for human occupancy and use and the demolition of such structures.
Also proposed within the ordinance is an exception to the existing International Fire
Code, whereby staff recommends amending the requirement to sprinkler multi -level
hotels and motels with a residential type sprinkler system, and require a full commercial
grade sprinkler system in such occupancies. Staff believes the installation of a full
commercial sprinkler system would better protect the building than a residential designed
system, since sprinkler protection is provided in attics and other hidden areas of a
commercial system.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance No. 922.
