Operative Text
A person may appeal an order of the Fire Marshal by following the administrative enforcement and hearing process contained in Chapter 1 of this code. (Ord. 2023-6 , passed 3-20-2023)
Section 6.17 of the Bloomington, Minnesota Code of Ordinances establishes that any person who receives an order from the Fire Marshal has the right to appeal that order. The appeal is not handled through a separate or unique process; instead, it follows the general administrative enforcement and hearing procedures already set out in Chapter 1 of the city code. This provision ensures a standardized path for contesting Fire Marshal orders rather than leaving appellants without a defined remedy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 6.17, property owners or managers who receive a Fire Marshal order are not without recourse — the ordinance expressly preserves the right to appeal. Operators who wish to contest such an order would generally familiarize themselves with the administrative enforcement and hearing process described in Chapter 1 of the Bloomington Code of Ordinances, as that chapter governs the procedural steps involved. Keeping records of any Fire Marshal communications and the dates they were received is a practice consistent with meeting the timelines that administrative appeal processes typically impose.
