3 <br /> Recommendations in RED <br /> Insulation Contractors Ordinance-Obsolete and no longer enforced. The state building code has been <br /> amended substantially since this ordinance was adopted. The state building code now allows contractors to <br /> engage numerous alternative compliance methods that circumvent the ordinance. Repeal <br /> Chapter 10 <br /> Cable Communications Ordinance-Governs franchises and thus not appropriate for the Code of Ordinances <br /> as franchise ordinances are maintained separate and apart from the Code. Remove from Code and maintain <br /> as a separate franchise ordinance template for possible repeal at a later date. The County's franchise with <br /> Time Warner expired in 2009 and the authority for granting and renewing such franchises was withdrawn <br /> by the legislature in SL 2006-151 <br /> Chapter 16 <br /> Noise Ordinance- Board members previously indicated the board may wish to amend the noise ordinance. <br /> Provide Direction <br /> Chapter 18 <br /> Weapons Ordinance-State law requires certain concealed firearms be allowed in areas the ordinance <br /> currently restricts. Need to update definitions and prohibitions to comply with state law. Amendment <br /> Forthcoming <br /> Skateboarding Ordinance- Prohibited in facilities use policy. Having it in the Code criminalizes this activity. <br /> Provide Direction <br /> Animals Ordinance- Prohibits dogs in county-owned buildings except in limited circumstances. Allowable <br /> circumstances don't comply with current law. More appropriate for Facilities Use Policy. Repeal. Facilities <br /> Use Policy amendment including this provision is pending <br /> Chapter 24 <br /> Regulating Exposure of Female Human Body Ordinance- Likely illegal and discriminatory. Repeal <br /> Chapter 34 <br /> Solid Waste Management Ordinance-The passage of House Bill 56 may require amendment to the ordinance, <br /> particularly with regard to flow control. This may be combined with a previously requested full ordinance <br /> rewrite. Amendment under consideration <br />
