Attorney Polackwich elaborated on his recommendation for the Board to adopt the <br />revised Florida Building Code. <br />Chairman Wheeler wondered whether any of the cost increases could be offset by any of <br />the code provisions. <br />Commissioner Davis asked that the costs of inspection and permitting fees be maintained <br />and not increased. <br />Director Keating responded that it was possible that the increases in wind speed <br />requirements might result in lower insurance costs. He also advised that some of the permitting <br />fees would be reduced. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to not move <br />forward until further information is available on the <br />impacts of the amendments contained within the 2010 <br />Florida Building Code. <br />Director Keating responding to Commissioner Davis's query, reported that the new code <br />goes into effect on March 15, 2012. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 2-2 <br />vote (Commissioners O'Bryan and Wheeler opposed; <br />Commissioner Flescher absent), the Motion was tied. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, <br />SECONDED by Chairman Wheeler, to direct staff to <br />advertise for a public hearing to consider adoption of the <br />revised 2010 Florida Building Code. <br />February 7, 2012 8 <br />BK 142P6019 <br />
