Brookings City Council Workshop
The Council held a workshop to discuss updating the fire code and the Brookings Municipal Code. The proposed approach involves removing the city from the administration and enforcement of the Oregon Fire Code, allowing the Oregon State Fire Marshal's Office to assume these responsibilities to improve clarity and reduce city costs, with the assurance that service levels will remain unchanged. Additionally, the Council received an update on a high-priority infrastructure project involving street paving and pedestrian improvements, noting the dependency on securing future grant funding after current obligations are completed.
