6:00 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Roll call: Mayor McKinley, Brown, Budak, Fox, Angel, Buck
and Wright.
Absent: Dell.
The agenda, as proposed, was approved.
The Mayor announced that the purpose of the meeting was to
discuss the adoption of the 1991 Uniform Building Code and
the Uniform Code for Building Conservation.
Lou Cutwright, Jr., Building Official, stated that the City
is currently operating under the 1985 Uniform Building Code.
The Code has been updated into the 1991 UBC and he
recommended its adoption. In addition, he recommended that
the Uniform Code for Building Conservation (UCBC) also be
adopted. The later code provides alternatives to standards
within the UBC and is particularly helpful in rehabilitating
existing structures. Mr. Cutwright stated that the UCBC
would be helpful in revitalizing the downtown area.
Discussion was heard concerning basement egress as a means
of exit from a sleeping or play area in basements.
Mr. Cutwright stated that these code changes have been
discussed with the building trades personnel and no
objections have been heard to date. He recommended to the
Council adoption of the changes by Ordinance.
