Background: Amend Chapter 15.24 of the 2000 Davenport Municipal Code by modifying the 2018 International Mechanical Code as published by ICC and adopted as revised by the State of Iowa.

This causes grease accumulation on and around the kitchen equipment. Equipment & walls become unsanitary & floors becomes “greasy” and slippery. 15.24.021 Additions, deletions and amendments to the International Mechanical Code A. Delete Section 508.3 of the 2018 International Mechanical Code in its entirety.
