Item # 4.

Work Session and Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:	12/10/2019
Department:	Development Services

AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and Discuss the Potential Adoption of the Town's Building Codes Including the International Code Council 2018 Codes and the 2017 National Electrical Code.

BACKGROUND:

The Town regulates the construction, alteration, occupancy and maintenance of buildings through the adoption and enforcement of a series of codes. The Town currently operates under the 2012 International Code Council (ICC) Codes and the 2014 National Electrical Code. These codes regulate commercial and residential structures including elements pertaining to the fire protection, plumbing, mechanical and electrical elements of buildings. New versions of these codes are released every three years to account for issues that arise between code cycles, new construction methods and to clarify existing regulations. Staff is proposing that the Town adopt the 2018 ICC Codes and the 2017 National Electrical Code.

In anticipation of bringing forward new codes for adoption in January, Staff will present the attached presentation to provide an overview of building codes and the adoption process.

RECOMMENDATION:

Information only, no action required.
