MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE: January 30, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3396-2024 KMC Code 4.31 Fuel Gas Code Amendment
The City Clerk and Building Official brought to my attention there were some minor revisions
necessary to clean up references within the City Code relating to KMC 4.31.015 and an earlier
code adoption. As Council may recall one year ago the City adopted the 2021 codes from our
previous 2009 versions. This Ordinance is cleaning up a section that still refers to the 2009 code.
One change of note, in the 2009 Fuel Gas Code adoption, our local amendments to that code
deleted references to Chapters 1-5, Chapter 8 and Appendices A through D. With the new 2021
Fuel Gas Code we are only removing references to the first chapter which outlines administrative
requirements, which do not necessarily match the City's normal business practice. The other
Chapters will remain in effect.
I believe these chapters were previously left out due to overlap with the uniform plumbing code,
however, after reviewing the chapters and appendices, the guidance they provide is important to
assist design teams with preferred installation methods. It is the department's recommendation
that they remain.
With Council's approval of this Ordinance the City's website will be updated to correct the
reference. Council's support is respectfully requested.
