The Fallon City Council on Monday introduced two ordinances that would update the city’s building and fire standards, setting public hearings for Dec. 2 to gather community input before adoption.
Bill 807 would amend Title 17 to adopt the 2024 editions of the International Building Code and the Uniform Building Codes. The measure, introduced by Councilwoman Kelly Frost, was presented for introduction only. “This is for introduction only,” Mayor Ken Tedford said, noting no further action would be taken until the December hearing.
Bill 808 would amend Title 16 to adopt the 2018 International Fire Code, including appendices B, C, D, and F, as modified by NAC 477.281. Councilwoman Karla Kent introduced the ordinance, and the mayor scheduled a Dec. 2 public hearing, where residents will have an opportunity to comment before any vote is taken.
Earlier in the meeting, the council approved minutes from the March 28, 2025, session and authorized warrants covering accounts payable, payroll, and customer deposits. Both items passed unanimously.
During the public comment period, resident Mr. Bridges praised the new fitness court at Laura Mills Park, calling it “marvelous, something special that ties it to our community.”
Mayor Tedford responded with a laugh: “You probably got up more on that fitness court than I ever was, let’s go for a walk.” Turning to Councilwoman Frost, he added, “Thanks for having the idea of the fitness court, I hope everyone uses it.”
The meeting adjourned following brief staff remarks.
