Ordinance BOH24-02 Reorganizing the Board of Health Code (SR 24-008C; Ragina Gray)

Division:
Environmental Health / Ragina Gray, Director 
Prior Board Review:
April 9, 2024 

Background

On March 12, 2024, the Board of Health was briefed on the Environmental Health division’s 2024 Board of Health Code revision workplan. The workplan was broken into three main goals. The first goal is to reorganize the layout of the Board of Health Code to separate content into more clearly defined titles.

 

On April 9, 2024, the Board of Health was briefed on the proposed code reorganization concepts and the ordinance strategy. As a reminder, this code revision will serve to reorganize only and will not include any changes to policy. To reflect feedback provided at the April Board of Health meeting, the title addressing camping regulations was changed as shown below:

 

CURRENT NAME

NEW NAME

Group Camp Regulations

Camps Camping Facilities

Recreation Camping Facilities

 

The ordinance strategy for this code reorganization is to repeal the impacted titles (titles 2-5) and reintroduce them all as new titles (titles 2-11). Action on this ordinance is proposed for June 2024.

 
Board Authority

RCW 70.05.060 (3) Enact such local rules and regulations as are necessary in order to preserve, promote and improve the public health and provide for the enforcement thereof.

 
Recommended Motion
No motion required. Briefing only.
