The 1994 revision was not adopted by the <br />state making the 1991 revision the most current revision. The City of Ramsey is also <br />operating under the 1991 revision. <br /> <br />In the spring of 1999 the State of Minnesota's Fire Marshal Tom Brace formally adopted <br />the 1997 revision of the UFC. <br /> <br />Council Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff is recommending that Council adopt the 1997 Uniform Fire Code as our cities fire <br />code standard. With a fire code inspection program to begin shortly, our city should adopt <br />the most recent revision. When the next revision to the UFC is adopted by the States Fire <br />Marshal, staff will again recommend adopting the most current revision. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to accept/reject that the 1997 Uniform Fire Code be adopted as the cities fire code <br />standard. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Fire Chief <br /> <br />CC: 7/13/99 <br /> <br /> <br />
