<br />CODE, AS AMENDED.
<br />WHEREAS, the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, at its 1969 Session, enacted
<br />an Act known as the Administrative Building Council Act of 1969, being Chapter 338 of the Acts
<br />of 1969 (Burns Sec. 20 -435 thru 20 -469); and
<br />WHEREAS, Section 32 of said Act provides that the Administrative Building Council
<br />created by said Act shall formulate a standard state -wide building code to become effective
<br />March 15, 1971, which, on said date shall have the effect of supplanting and replacing all
<br />existing building codes throughout the state; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Common Council has been informed that the Administrative Building Council
<br />has narrowed its choice down to two or three of the standard codes presently in general use in
<br />the building industry at this time; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Municipal City of South Bend and the Board of Commissioners of St. Joseph
<br />County have both adopted and been operating under the Boca Basic Building Code promulgated by the
<br />Building Officials Conference of America, Inc. for a considerable period of time; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Common Council is of the opinion that the Boca Code has proven to be very
<br />satisfactory in operation, that it is more relevant to the State of Indiana, and the Midwest,
<br />than the other standard codes in use in other areas of the country, and that a switch to a
<br />different code at this time would produce much confusion and difficulty,
