Cities in the Metro Area are required to adopt <br />it with certain supporting documentations and a fees schedule. The fees schedule for 2004 <br />will be presented to the Council as part of the 2004 City Budget process. Very few <br />changes are anticipated, except to meet the current cost of providing the services. <br /> <br />1.2 This new code, the 2003 Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) does have new and <br />substantially more contemporary building regulations. The effective date of this city <br />ordinance would be January 1, 2004. <br /> <br />1.3 The Codes Staff has compiled a new ordinance which adopts the MSBC and deletes all <br />outdated language in Title 9 of the City Code, some of which has not been changed since <br />1959. Attached is a marked up version of all of the additions and deletions. <br /> <br />1.4 Since this is not a land use document, the City Code does not require a review or hearing <br />by the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />1.5 The Council held the first reading on this ordinance on July 21, 2003. No public <br />comment was offered. <br /> <br />2.0 SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTIONS: <br /> <br />Hold the second reading, accept comment and provide direction. <br /> <br />By motion, approve the amendments to City Code Title 9, Chapter 9, Sections 901 <br />through 905, which adopts the 2003 Minnesota State Building Code, effective <br />January 1, 2004. <br /> <br />Report Prepared by: Dennis Welsch, Com.
