Minutes Grand Terrace City Council February 11, 2020
Lengthy discussion and questions ensued regarding the Summary of Amendments to
the 2019 California Fire Code which City Council believes presents itself as overreach
and how it would affect the City of Grand Terrace and its residents.
Adam Panos, Deputy Fire Marshal with the San Bernardino County Fire Protection
District answered all of the questions that the City Council presented regarding the
County amendments being proposed to the City.
Adrian Guerra, City Attorney advised the City Council that State law requires each City
have a fire code. By default, the City defaults to the 2019 State Fire Code. A City has
options to amend that State Fire Code for local, climatic, geological, and topographical
reasons. The City Council has the authority to use the 2019 State Fire Code and the
City does not have to use the County amendments. The only item before the City
Council is which code to enforce; the 2019 State Fire Code as approved by the State, or
the State Code with the amendments that the County has adopted. Two other options
the City Council has is to pick and choose which County provisions they like and which
ones they don't and adopt that version, or the City Council can adopt a different
ordinance which is solely what the City Council wants.
City Attorney Guerra explained that until such time as the City Council adopts an
ordinance, first and second reading and 30 days thereafter, until that effective date of
the ordinance, the City is governed by State law.
City Attorney Guerra also added if the motion is granted, City Council provide Staff
direction on what issues to focus on before coming back with a proposed ordinance.
Council Member Hussey moved, with a second from Mayor Pro Tern Wilson to direct
Staff to review all of the amendments proposed by the San Bernardino County Fire
Protection District with respect to the amendments to the 2019 Fire Code and to bring
back a revised ordinance which addresses the amendments that Staff believes are best
applicable to the City and remove those provisions that Staff does not believe are
beneficial to the City.
