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 an Act known as the Administrative
Building 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 has narrowed its choice down to two
or three of the standard codes presently in general use in the build-
ing industry at this time; and
WHEREAS, the Municipal City of South Bend and the Board of
Commissioners of St. Joseph County have both adopted and been operat-
ing under the Boca Basic Building Code promulgated by the Building
Officials Conference of America, Inc. for a considerable period of
time; 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 by the
Indiana Administrative Building Council of the Boca Basic Building
Code as the standard state-wide building code to become effective

the Clerk to the Indiana Administrative Building Council in Indianapolis
and to the Governor of the State of Indiana.
