CASE # <br /> <br />PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO AMEND CITY CODE CHAPTER 8 <br />(BUILDING AND HOUSING) <br /> By: Community Development Director Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Section 8.0 l of Chapter 8 in the City Code calls out which version of the State Building Code is <br />being administered and enforced. Each time the State adopts a new version, our Code has to be <br />amended to reference the correct version. The City has been notified that this month the <br />Minnesota Building Codes and Standards Division will be converting from the Uniform Building <br />Code to the International Building Code. Municipalities that enforce the State Building Code <br />need to update their building code to reflect the change. <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />No specific notification is required to amend Chapter 8, Building Code. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The State Department of Administration, Building Codes and Standards Division, has supplied <br />cities with model ordinances to implement the changes.~ One model identifies each specific <br />section of the code being adopted and would have to be amended from time to time as the State <br />Code changes. The second alternative is a self-perpetuating ordinance intended to always reflect <br />the most current edition of the State Building Code. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />City Staff recommends adoption of the self-perpetuating ordinance. The ordinance is enclOsed <br />for review and consideration. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion by and seconded by <br />#03-__ adopting the Minnesota State Building Code. <br /> <br />to introduce Ordinance <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Building Official <br />City Attorney <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />CC: 03/11/03 <br /> <br />5' <br /> <br />-153- <br /> <br /> <br />
