Barnard 219/284-9486 Director 219/284-9325 Jack A. Mathews Building Commissioner August 9, 1985 South Bend, Common Council Members 4th Floor County-City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Dear Council Members: The attached ordinance includes several amendments to Chapter 6 , Buildings, of the South Bend Municipal Code. One of the amendments lists the update editions of the codes required by the State of Indiana. These codes include the Electrical, Plumbing, Energy, Construction Rules and Regulations, and One and Two Family Dwelling Code. The 1984 BOCA Existing Structures Code replaces the 1978 BOCA Code and is used by the inspectors when inspecting substan- tial structures. Amendments to the Plumbing section of the Code would change the registration date of plumbing contractors from August to January to be consistent with other city registration requirements. The defini- tion of Maintenance Technician would be redefined to only require the registration of maintenance technicians who do plumbing repair work in businesses or multi-family residential establishments and not industrial or manufacturing businesses. Thank you for your consideration of these amendments. I will be available to discuss these ordinance changes with you at your convenience. Sincerely, ilee---- 11-- Katherine G.
