Governor Scott/Legislative Delegation <br />February 10, 2012 <br />1) a cio 12 <br />the 2010 Code changes. The Board learned that the current Code revisions are <br />available only on-line The important amendments contain no estimate of potential <br />financial impact the changes may have on those who may be affected by the code <br />amendments. As you know, all counties, including Indian River County, are required to <br />adopt and enforce the latest version of the Florida Budding Code. To that end, the <br />Board of County Commissioners will hold a public hearing on March 6, 2012 to take <br />testimony and comment from interested parties concerning adoption of the Florida <br />Building Code 2010. However, if a concerned citizen inquires as to the financial <br />impacts caused by the increased wind speed protection will have on the cost of a single <br />family home, neither the commission nor staff would be able to provide informed <br />answers due to the lack of information forthcoming from the Florida Budding <br />Commission and the legislature. Likewise, homeowners with older heating and air <br />conditioning units need to be informed as to the possible effects the code changes may <br />bring when or if their heating or air conditioning unit needs repair or replacement. <br />if adoption of the updated building code is required of cities and counties by March 15 <br />2012, it would appear that information concerning the changes should be made well in <br />advance of the adoption date rather than on the eve of adoption. <br />We would respectfully request that you look into this matter and provide us with any <br />information you deem informative. Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Gary C. Wheeler <br />Chairman, Indian River County <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />980127th Street, Building A <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960-3365 <br />Telephone: 772-226-1490 FAX' 772-770-5334 <br />
