Ordinance on second reading: Amending building and fire codes.

Its full path through the Board of Commissioners — 2 appearances on record, oldest first. Every step links back to the official minutes.

How to read this history

Each step below is a separate action the Board of Commissioners took at a separate meeting, oldest first. A later step does not undo an earlier one — an item can be introduced, postponed, amended, and taken up again as it moves through the process. A deferral, in particular, just postpones an item to a later meeting; it is not a rejection. Some items, such as ordinances, are voted on at more than one meeting before they take effect.
