Updated Building Codes

During Wednesday night’s meeting, the Board of Trustees adopted Ordinance 981 updating the Town of Firestone’s building codes from the 2012 International Code Council family of codes to the 2018 editions. In addition, the Board also updated the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code to the 2012 version and the 2017 National Electric Code to the 2020 version. The adopted building codes are an essential tool in preserving the public health, safety, and welfare in the design, permitting, construction and occupation of homes, buildings, and structures within the Town. The updated codes allow for the design and installation of new, innovative, and more efficient materials and technologies, reflect the modern advances in construction methods and standards, and insure that all structures within the Town are held to the same minimum standard of quality and safety.

2020 Supplemental Budget & 2021 Budget Approved

In two separate actions, during Wednesday night’s meeting, the Board of Trustees adopted the 2020 Supplemental Budget and the 2021 Budget and 5-year Capital Improvement Plan. 

The supplemental budget modifies the previously adopted budget for 2020. The Local Government Budget Law (CRS 29-1-109), specifically provides that municipalities may amend a budget for a myriad of reasons which includes unanticipated revenues or expenses, revenues not assured at time of adoption of the budget, to address if revenues are lower than anticipated, and to address transfer or supplemental appropriations.

The Board of Trustees reviewed the proposed 2021 budget with Town Staff over four separate meetings in September and October of this year.  The budget addresses key initiatives and goals laid out by the Board of Trustees and continues to preserve a high level of service to the residents of Firestone.  To view the complete budget and the major activities and projects for the year visit: www.firestoneco.gov/budget.
