Minutes of Regular Meeting La Porte City Council July Z2, 1996, Page 5 LJ City Attorney Knox Askins reviewed the summary and staff's recommendation for the request. Mr. Askins reported the adoption of the most recent approved edition of the Standard Building code, 1994 Edition, has sections in conflict with the City of La Porte Personnel Policy Manual.
