The Motion was seconded by Commissioner McCullers and unanimously carried. Mr. Jimmy Walker, Chairman of the Building Code Committee, reported that the Committee is using the Southern Standard Building Code as a basis for their work in establishing a building code for the County, and that the Committee has considered a proposal that the County join the Southern -Building Code Congress, and has unanimously recommended that this be done. Commissioner Waddell questioned if the County would be covenanting with the Congress to enforce the Southern Standard Building Code in the County and, after reading the proposal, found that this was not the case. Mr. Wacker pointed out that copies of the Code could be purchased at a reduced rate if the County were a member and also that the association would send help, free of charge, if needed.
