Tom Talboom-The City is providing for one class for each member of the Board. My suggestion would be to take the 1997 Building Code update. This should be a very good overview of the new code. My plan was to possibly do the International Plumbing Code next March, in 1999 If you would like to take a different class that would be fine as well. Just pick a day and class that you want to attended and have the application to me by tomorrow Member Hartronft-Will the revised section on egress be covered in the update class. Tom Talboom-Yes.

Point of exit,point of ongin and then the path between the two As opposed to looking at all of them as on item. This has resulted m an increase in travel distances. Member Hartronft-If you apply the new egress to buildings constructed under the 1994 Code, how would they compare? Tom Talboom-The new code is less restrictive. Where this came about was the reclassification of some of the large buildings, such as aircraft manufactunng facilities. That would be an excellent class to take if you feel comfortable with the 1997 Building Code 7 Setting date and time for next meeting: The next meeting was schedule for March 19th, 1998 8.
