1. Call to Order
Chair Kittrell called the meeting to order at 10:04 a.m.
2. Approval of previous meeting minutes from September 29, 2016 and Special Meeting from
October 27,2016.
The meeting minutes from both meetings were approved.
3. Updates from the subcommittee chairs and vice chairs
a. The Building and Energy Conservation code committee is reviewing Chapter 9 and what
should be required for fire sprinklers. The main discussion was to exempt over 4 or 6 R-2
units. Definitely the number of units currently exempt is too high.
b. The Existing Building committee is through the code book. They will not be recommending
adoption of the appendices. They are now reviewing in depth the proposed amendments.
c. The Mechanical, Fuel Gas,and Energy code committee has made substantial progress. The
committee has gone through the Mechanical code and Fuel Gas codes(except for chapter
1). The committee will recommend highly use of the Energy Conservation code. With the
perceived lack of support from the other subcommittees, however,the committee will not
recommend formal adoption. The committee is ready to review a draft ordinance.
d. The Residential and Energy Conservation code committee is through the regular chapters
and will consider the appendices. The committee is also recommending adoption of the
Swimming Pool and Spa Code.
e. The Fire and Property Maintenance code review is through Chapter 8 and started Chapter
10. Discussion was held on the number of R-2 units to require sprinklers per Chapter 9. It
seemed that over 4 units is favored, but not confirmed.
4. Old Business—review list of proposed amendments to code
The list was reviewed and no changes were noted. It was discussed to have the JCFD find some
more statistics on fire sprinklers and life safety as a follow up to the Special Meeting held on
October 27, 2016.

5. Continue review of Chapter One of the Building Code starting at Section 112
IBC Sections 112 and 115 were OK. Section 113 should be deleted and Section 114 should be
amended to follow current code for violation penalties. More information will need to be
provided on Section 116(e.g.City Code on Dangerous Buildings). Chapter 1 of the IRC was
handed out and was gone over at a high level. The Residential Code review committee will
review in depth.
6. New Business
A revised version of the Demolition city code was reviewed,along with a revised demolition
permit application. Concerns were expressed by the committee as to:definition of building(e.g.
garden shed versus a house);cash bond;and insurance requirements. Revisions to the
proposed version should be made.
7. Public Comments
No public comments were made.
