REPORT TO:
The Honorable Mayor Boharski and City Council
FROM:
Craig Kerzman, Building Official
Chris Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Adoption of 2000 Edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code
MEETING DATE:
August 20, 2001
BACKGROUND:
The State of Montana Building Codes Bureau regularly adopts
updated versions of the building codes that apply to the State of
Montana. Jurisdictions such as Kalispell that are certified by the
State to enforce building codes must use the same codes the State has
adopted. The State of Montana replaced the 1997 edition of the
Uniform Plumbing Code with the 2000 edition. In order to maintain
certification of our jurisdiction and to continue to enforce codes, the
2000 edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code must be adopted. This is
a reoccurring housekeeping matter routinely accomplished to satisfy
state law.
RECOMMENDATION: City Council approves the ordinance before them this evening.
