RESOLUTION FAVORING ADOPTION OF THE BOCA BASIC
BUILDING CODE AS THE STATE-WIDE STANDARD BUILDING
CODE, AS AMENDED.
WHEREAS , the General Assembly of the State of Indiana ,
at its 1969 Session, enacted the AdministrativeBuilding Council
Act of 1969, being Chapter 338 of the Acts of 1969 (Burns Sec.
20-435 thru 20-469) ; and
WHEREAS , Section 32 of said Act provides that the Admini-
strative Building Council created by said Act shall formulate a
standard state-wide building code to become effective March 15, 1971,
which, on said date shall have the effect of supplanting and replacing
all existing building codes throughout the state; and
WHEREAS , the Common Council has been informed that the
Administrative Building Council, in special session on February 6,
1973 , acted to abandon its oi�,m up-dated version of the present
Rules and Regulations and issued instructions to the department
staff to prepare the necessary drafts of amendments required to
adopt a model code package; and
WHEREAS , the Municipal City of South Bend and the Board
of Commissioners of St. Joseph County have both adopted and been
operating under the BOCA Basic Building Code, as amended, promulgated
by the Building Officials and Code Administrators International since
1961; and
WHEREAS , the Common Council is of the opinion that the BOCA
Code has proven to be very satisfactory in operation, that it is
more relevant to the State of Indiana, and the Midwest, than the
other standard codes in use in other areas of the country, and that
a switch to a. different code at this time would produce much confusion
and difficulty.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of
the City of South Bend, Indiana, that:
SECTION I. The Council strongly favors adoption of the
BOCA Basic Building Code, as amended, by the Indiana Administrative
Building Council as the standard state-wide building code.
SECTION II. That a copy of this Resolution be forwarded
by the Clerk to the Indiana Administrative Building Council members ,
the State Building Commissioner, and to the Governor of the State of
Indiana .
