5. Review and Discussion of Building Code Amendments
Chairperson Clark asked staff to provide future codes being reviewed and discussed by the
Committee to be sent electronically to all Committee members and to only provide hard copies
to Committee members who specifically request such copies.
Chairperson Clark noted there are a lot of pages in the Explanation of Proposed Amendments
to the 2018 Building Codes for the Committee to review today. Sheintends to have the
Committee identify codes by the page numbers at the bottom of each page to make this review
process easier to follow. She stated that she will identify each code page and if any Committee
member would like to discuss the content of that page in greater detail, the page will be set
aside for further discussion. If no discussion is needed, she'll ask the Committee to take a vote
regarding the content of that page. Once all pages have been initially reviewed, the Committee
will go back and discuss the pages identified for further discussion.
