RE: Trade Board chairman meeting
The chairman from each trade board met this afternoon in the
Neighborhood Resources conference room to receive an update report on the
various code adoptions. Present today
were the Plumbing Board, Building Board, and Fire Board Chairmen. The Chairmen for the Electrical and
Mechanical Boards did not attend. The chairman present agreed to meet again
in 2-weeks for a continued dialog on the blended code adoption. Staff’s
role is limited to providing a meeting space and any type of additional
research or accommodation needed by the chairman.
In addition, the board also received a hand-out of the meeting held July 15 in Denver, Colorado by the International Code Council (ICC) and the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO). The purpose of the ICC/ IAMPO meeting was to further discuss the creation of a joint plumbing and mechanical code under the International Family of Codes. This new code is scheduled to be available to the public in 2009.
