ATTEST:
DATE: August 20, 1985
SUBJECT: Council Agenda, August 22, 1985
ITEM: 13F - Ordinance adopting 1985 Building Codes
The primary purpose of continually up dating building and related codes
is to keep in step with new ideas in building, health and safety requirements
related to structures being built, added to or demolished. Between the 1982
building code and the 1985 building code there are one hundred and thirty nine
(139) code changes and none of these changes appear to be cost related to a
builder but mostly clarification, better references, code format, etc.
The 1985 Codes are:
Standard Building Code with the Code on Unsafe Buildings
Standard Plumbing Code
Standard Gas Code
Standard Mechanical Code
Standard Swimming Pool Code
Standard Fire Code
Staff recommends the Council adopt these updated versions of the Code.
The ordinance itself will be presented at the meeting.
