City council handles ordinances on fire station design and plumbing rules
The council gave first readings on hiring an architectural firm for a new fire station and annexing 2.66 acres in Strouds Run. A plumbing code amendment adds a license section with a $10 initial fee and $5 yearly rate, defines a journeyman, and limits service work near wiring. A gas code measure sets installation and venting standards and inspection for appliances. Monthly parking meters, mowing equipment purchases, and a fire contract with a state hospital were approved or discussed.
