I The following is a re -adjustment of the City Building Code which is hereby adopted by the Board of
!Public Works & Safety and further recommended to the Mayor and Council. The Resolution reads as follows:
?i WHEREAS, many building code regulations allow the use of certain materials and methods of conttructi
Ito the exclusion of others which are equally svtitable in spite of the fact that the laws of engineering and!
:the basic sciences recognize no geographical boundries, and,
�! WHEREAS, there have been no commonly acceptable equitable means established for evaluating the suit
• !;ability of materials and methods of construction to provide for whatever economic benefits might be derived!
!'from the use of many materials and various manufactured products because of technically discriminative code;
`provisions, and,
U
•
WHEREAS, there has been no commonly, nor generally accepted terminology for the writing of building
code regulations, which fact adds further confusion in the interpretation of the various codes by law en-
forcement agencies, engineers, architects, contractors, manufacturers, and the public, and,
WHEREAS, all elements of the building industry, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, as well:
as the building officials and the public are cognizant of the urgent need for a code unification program,
which calls for the abandonment of conflicting regulations contained in the multidudinous building codes n;ow
in use, and, I
WHEREAS, this program can best be carried out by norrowing the number of building codes now in use
down to one of the four nationally recognized building codes, and,
WHEREAS, it is the consensus of this Board of Public Works and Safety that this general premise is
sound and proper and the the Basic Guilding Code promulgated by the Building Officials Conference of America,.
Ind., is the one of the four nationall recognized codes which, in our opinion, will best serve our purpose,']
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board respectfully recommend to His Honor the Mayor and the
Honorable Members of the Common Council of the City of South Bend that the Basic Building Code be carefully;
studied by a committee of all interested parties with the Building Commissioner acting as Chairman, with the
objectives of adapting it to our needs and its being ultimately adopted as the official building code of the
City of South Bend, Indiana. j
