Draft chapter 35: Fire Protection

§ 35.11 Calls Outside City

The 2026 draft's § 35.11 beside the current code's § 35.11: removed words are struck through, added words underlined.

Comparison with a draft: not adopted. The archive holds no public hearing, ordinance or vote adopting the recodified Code through the October 20, 2026 meeting packet. Until one is adopted, every page here compares the consolidated code with a draft that can still change: the revised draft with the October 6 changes is not in the archive.

A comparison with the August 2026 draft recodification prepared by Iowa Codification for the City. The draft has not been adopted and can still change; the current code (unofficial compilation) governs until a recodified Code is adopted. Matches between sections are made by machine from the texts and are reviewed where uncertain.

What changed

The department shall answer calls to fires and other emergencies outside the City limits as contracted for by the City; and in addition, the department may answer calls for assistance from members of the Johnson County Mutual Aid Association if the Fire Chief or officer in charge determines that answering such calls will not disable or prevent the fire department from protecting the City and Clear Creek Township and Union Townships of Johnson County.
