1.Call to Order
Since the meeting was for public comment,Larry Burkhardt called the meeting to order at 4 pm.
2.Overview of 2015 Building Code recommendations for adoption
The PowerPoint presentation to the City Council on May 15th was used to lead an overview ofthe
committee's code adoption recommendation.
3.Public Comments
Primary discussion was held with the attendees about requirements for fire sprinklers in residential
units.The code committee is recommending the Building and Fire codes be adopted as is which
requires fire sprinklers in three residential units or more.The current code requires fire sprinklers
in eleven residential units or more.
A lengthy discussion was held about the fire sprinkler topic with the main concern being the cost of
the systems.Ken Thoenen claimed that it would significantly increase development cost of
residential units beyond the current rental market price.More specifics would need to be vetted
out on development costs on a case by case basis.The costs would need to be further analyzed
since the Cityof Jefferson has more infrastructure development requirements than Cole County.
These new fire sprinkler requirements could then possibly cost less than in previous years since the
infrastructure has changed.It was also noted that the Cityof Columbia has already adopted the
2015 Building and Fire codes with fire sprinkler requirements as being proposed for the Cityof
Jefferson.
4.Adjourn
The meeting adjourned at 4:55 pm
