Board recommends ordinance 02-1999 evacuation and construction revisions to city council

The Rochester Board of Works reviewed proposed revisions to ordinance 02-1999, described in the meeting as updates to evacuation and construction provisions and the inclusion of previously adopted permit requirements.

A staff member said the draft incorporates changes and the permit requirements the board adopted last year, and recommended the board forward the ordinance to city council. The board moved to recommend the ordinance for council consideration and approved that recommendation by voice vote.

The board did not identify specific dissenting concerns during the discussion. The staff member asked for the board’s blessing to send the ordinance forward; the motion to recommend was made, seconded and carried. The item will proceed to the city council for further consideration.
