Such model codes with State amendments and California specific codes go into effect in every City and County in the State of California 180 days after publication. The new California codes were published on July 1, 2025 and will take effect on January 1, 2026. The Fire Department is requesting adoption of the 2025 California Fire Code and the 2025 California Wildland-Urban Interface Code with local amendments and administrative changes. RECOMMENDATION: The Fire Department recommends that the Council: 1) introduce an ordinance adopting by reference the 2025 edition of the California Fire Code as adopted and amended by the State of California, and further amended based on local condition, repeal existing sections not applicable to new codes and modify Chapter 18-44 of the Santa Rosa City Code to reflect the new model code; 2) introduce an ordinance adopting by reference the 2025 California Wildland Urban Interface code, as adopted and amended by the State of California, and further amended based on local condition, added as Chapter 18-46 to the Santa Rosa City Code to reflect the new model code; 3) adopt a resolution setting a public hearing on November 18, 2025, for adoption of the ordinances.

Given the upcoming election of Vice Mayor in November, staff has prioritized updating the Mayor and Vice Mayor election process. Staff will bring the updates to policies for appointing individuals to boards, commissions, committees, and vacant Council seats outside of an election cycle, at a future date.
