<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br /> <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Jack Owen <br /> <br /> <br />D fiJ/iJrssen <br /> <br />February 17,1983 <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT; <br /> <br />Adoption of 1982 Codes <br /> <br />The Inspection Department has reviewed the 1982 Edition of a1l the Standard <br />Codes currently in use. La Porte has managed through the years to adopt the <br />most current issues of the Standard Codes. Designers have been using the 1982 Codes <br />since about May 1982. It is costly for designers and builders to go back and <br />design to the old Codes. The new Codes allow the use of new and less expensive <br />materials. Therefore possible reductions in building cost could be seen. <br />It has come to our attention that the builders and contractors bonds and <br />insurance that we require are not to be found in writing. We would therefore <br />request that these be placed into this Ordinance. <br />We respectfully request that the 1982 editions of the Standard Codes and <br />Appendices and the respective bonds and insurance be adopted as presented in <br />the attached Ordinance. <br /> <br />Attachment <br />
