In the city of Eureka, the Council has a plan
To stop the sale of tobacco to every woman, child, and man
The Department of Justice has awarded us some cash
To help us reach our goal and make our community less rash

(Chorus)

With operations in place, we’ll make sure that it’s done right
No more illegal sales, not a single flavored blight

(Chorus)
Tobacco Grant Award, we’re accepting it with glee
$170,789 to help us keep our streets tobacco-free
With operations in place, we’ll make sure that it’s done right
No more illegal sales, not a single flavored blight

Listen up, Eureka City Council, you may think you’re making some big decisions here, but the truth is, you’re just playing catch up. Triad Inc. is the lowest bidder for the Lundbar Hills Fire Pump Replacement Project, and they’re ready to bring the heat. We’re talking a $130,581 contract, with a 10% contingency for a total of $143,640. And don’t forget about the $190,000 budget appropriation for this project and the upcoming Back Up Generator project. So, let’s cut to the chase, declare Triad Inc. the winners, and let’s get this show on the road. Because when it comes to keeping Eureka safe and secure, there’s only one name in town - Triad Inc. We’re here to pump up the competition and show you what real winners look like. So buckle up, Eureka City Council, because we’re about to take this city to new heights.

In fair Eureka where governance reigns,
The Building Code must updated be,
To keep the city safe from harm and pains,
And align with State guidelines faithfully.

Chief Building Official, Brendan Reilly,
Hath prepared Bill No. 1052-C.S.
To waive full reading, introduce it freely,
For adoption of codes, a goal to impress.

No fiscal impact, no need for great cost,
Just a simple update to keep things right,
For health and safety, a mission embossed,
In the council’s vision, pure and bright.

So let us move to pass this noble cause,
And amend the Code to follow State laws.

Moe Hogan: Welcome back folks, this is the Moe Hogan Experience, where we dive deep into the mysteries of the world! Today we have a very special guest, Brendan Reilly, Chief Building Official, here to talk to us about an amendment to the Eureka Municipal Code regarding the California Fire Code. Brendan, welcome to the show.

Brendan Reilly: Thank you for having me, Moe.

Moe Hogan: So, this document you’ve prepared recommends waiving the full reading and introducing Bill No. 1053-C.S. to amend the Eureka Municipal Code. Can you explain in simple terms what this means for our listeners?

Brendan Reilly: Absolutely, Moe. Every three years, the California Building Standards Commission updates the Building Standards Code, including the Fire Code. This amendment ensures that the Eureka Municipal Code stays up to date with these changes, without the need for frequent updates.

Moe Hogan: Fascinating stuff, Brendan. Now, you mentioned fiscal impact being minimal, which is always good to hear. But what about the environmental impact? How does this amendment affect the environment?

Brendan Reilly: The amendment is considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act, but since it only updates code references, it’s not expected to have a significant effect on the environment.

Moe Hogan: That’s a relief to hear. Now, before we wrap up, do you have any final thoughts or recommendations for our listeners?

Brendan Reilly: I would just like to reiterate the staff’s recommendation to waive full reading, read by title only, and introduce Bill No. 1053-C.S. It’s a simple change that will help keep our city codes aligned with state regulations.

Moe Hogan: Well, there you have it folks, straight from the expert himself. Thank you, Brendan, for shedding light on this important issue. Now, a word from our sponsor.

[Commercial break]

Moe Hogan: And we’re back, folks. Now, before we continue, let me just ask my producer to look up a quick fact for me. Hey, can you check if the California Building Standards Commission was established in 1946?

Producer: Actually, Moe, I just looked it up, and the California Building Standards Commission was established in 1945, not 1946.

Moe Hogan: Ah, well, close enough. Thanks for fact-checking that for me, I appreciate it. And that’s all the time we have for today, folks. Tune in next time for another mind-boggling episode of The Moe Hogan Experience. Thanks for listening!
