Guadalupe County on July 1 opened a public hearing on the proposed adoption of the 2024 International Fire Code (IFC), including local county amendments, and recorded no public comments.

Mr. Pender presented the item and said staff have discussed draft amendments over the past several weeks. He said the hearing provided an opportunity for the public to comment; none did. Pender told the court he plans to meet individually with commissioners in the coming weeks and bring the item back in August for formal consideration.

The court closed the hearing without public comment. No vote to adopt the code was taken at the July 1 meeting; staff will return with the proposed ordinance and pay schedule for consideration at a future meeting.
