It's nice. 90 00:06:25,126 --> 00:06:27,731 Council, any questions, comments? 91 00:06:30,814 --> 00:06:33,718 Um, I would just comment maybe um another bullet point 92 00:06:33,798 --> 00:06:36,733 for your presentation might be that so if the costs 93 00:06:36,813 --> 00:06:42,103 went from 22.5 in 2024 to 27 million. 94 00:06:42,183 --> 00:06:43,621 Um, maybe compare um, 95 00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:48,891 I know our property tax base has gone up significantly 96 00:06:48,971 --> 00:06:51,267 with uh all the commercial improvements. 97 00:06:51,516 --> 00:06:55,170 So, while the costs have gone up, you might point out that 98 00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:59,492 it's not all on the taxpayers from 2024 because we have 99 00:06:59,572 --> 00:07:04,044 Quick Start, we have another Casey's, we have Domino's. 100 00:07:04,823 --> 00:07:08,596 Maybe um, I think Heather in our budget process has kind 101 00:07:08,785 --> 00:07:12,548 of a breakout of the increase in in our tax base in the 102 00:07:12,628 --> 00:07:16,422 city of Knoxville, which um, just reading some of the comments 103 00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:18,059 on social media, 104 00:07:18,518 --> 00:07:22,291 I don't think people understand that even when you uh say that 105 00:07:22,371 --> 00:07:28,190 we're going to pay for it with save dollars, how much the 106 00:07:28,270 --> 00:07:33,481 commercial growth in our community contributes to those 107 00:07:33,561 --> 00:07:39,899 dollars in addition to property taxes? So it seems like there's 108 00:07:39,979 --> 00:07:44,571 a common theme that people don't understand that it's property 109 00:07:44,671 --> 00:07:48,933 tax neutral. And I think that's a huge, I mean, we had the same 110 00:07:49,013 --> 00:07:52,077 benefit to um, pitch the public safety building. 111 00:07:52,157 --> 00:07:56,090 that it's all going to be um, with dollars from local option 112 00:07:56,170 --> 00:08:00,063 sales tax is how we're going to pay for that debt. And I I work 113 00:08:00,143 --> 00:08:04,425 in the finance area and bond, so it it all makes sense to me, 114 00:08:04,505 --> 00:08:07,480 but I think it's a very foreign concept for a lot of the blue 115 00:08:08,568 --> 00:08:12,940 collar community that we live in. And so if you can um, bring 116 00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:17,382 to light some of those other benefits that might be helpful. 117 00:08:17,462 --> 00:08:20,417 That's really good information. Thank you. We'll share that 118 00:08:20,497 --> 00:08:24,849 with uh the task force. A couple things. Um, 119 00:08:24,929 --> 00:08:26,985 you can use this as you choose, but to summarize, you know, 120 00:08:27,514 --> 00:08:28,911 chart that says voting yes, 121 00:08:28,991 --> 00:08:31,038 is $15.7 million you're agreeing to, voting no 122 00:08:32,609 --> 00:08:34,186 is $27 million you're agreeing to. We're going to 123 00:08:35,943 --> 00:08:40,654 do one or the other. That's a critical point to drive home, 124 00:08:40,734 --> 00:08:45,026 and I think that's what I understand. Um, that'd be hard 125 00:08:45,106 --> 00:08:48,740 to argue. Um, but the second thing I would point out is, 126 00:08:50,067 --> 00:08:51,794 one thing I hear a lot of is people don't think that um, 127 00:08:52,204 --> 00:08:53,950 school facilities, sometimes city facilities as well, are 128 00:08:54,030 --> 00:08:55,558 maintained, they don't understand the dollars that 129 00:08:56,366 --> 00:08:58,941 we spend. Um, some of it's not really visible to the general 130 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,134 public. And I see that a lot on this project, people saying, 131 00:09:03,214 --> 00:09:07,057 you know, it wouldn't need, you know, $20 million worth 132 00:09:07,137 --> 00:09:09,932 of repairs had we had we kept it up. And I don't think 133 00:09:10,012 --> 00:09:12,699 one thing that's not been communicated very well, 134 00:09:13,036 --> 00:09:16,380 that I would challenge is, I'm not 100% sure I've been 135 00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:20,223 looking into it for the, I haven't had a lot of time, 136 00:09:20,303 --> 00:09:23,507 but there have been, I believe, more additions and more 137 00:09:23,587 --> 00:09:24,918 improvements and more dollars spent on that school building 138 00:09:25,124 --> 00:09:27,779 than anything we've ever had in the district. So, I I don't 139 00:09:27,859 --> 00:09:31,702 know if we've communicated that well enough. I know 140 00:09:31,782 --> 00:09:34,727 of two different, my mother lived close, and I remember 141 00:09:34,947 --> 00:09:38,600 two, I remember two different periods about 5, 10 years 142 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:42,233 apart where we built the south side, then the north side. 143 00:09:42,313 --> 00:09:44,769 We had to be ADA compliant, 144 00:09:45,118 --> 00:09:48,073 um, we had to build a retention pond, a new playground, a new 145 00:09:48,153 --> 00:09:51,427 parking lot. So, for those of you guys who are just here, 146 00:09:51,507 --> 00:09:54,891 this is what we want the bond referendum, we're asking for 147 00:09:54,971 --> 00:09:57,985 a debt to issue in 2024 to fund the Northstar School. 148 00:09:58,335 --> 00:10:02,497 If you vote yes, you're agreeing to issue debt for $15.7 million, 149 00:10:02,577 --> 00:10:04,284 and if you vote no, 150 00:10:04,744 --> 00:10:07,070 So, I think we can work on communicating 151 00:10:07,150 --> 00:10:10,544 what do you mean when you have maintained it. It's probably 152 00:10:10,624 --> 00:10:13,918 had more dollar, way more than East Elementary ever had spent on it. 153 00:10:13,998 --> 00:10:15,245 That was gone. So 154 00:10:15,325 --> 00:10:18,529 Yeah. Okay. It's tried to be diligent that's put on to it. Yeah. 155 00:10:18,609 --> 00:10:20,825 And there's other things.

Uh, the Central Iowa's the Central Iowa Housing 221 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,385 Trust Fund was the last Housing Trust Fund to be created. 222 00:13:52,465 --> 00:13:55,200 Um, and those last four counties were Boone, Jasper, Marion, and 223 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,877 Warren counties. 224 00:13:56,957 --> 00:13:59,782 So, uh, it's been existence, I have that on future slide but since 225 00:13:59,862 --> 00:14:02,067 around 2020. 226 00:14:02,147 --> 00:14:05,302 Uh, was their first allocation of funding. 227 00:14:05,901 --> 00:14:09,704 Housing Trust Funds are a state approved or state allowed to exist 228 00:14:09,784 --> 00:14:13,197 type entity. 229 00:14:13,277 --> 00:14:16,761 Um, there was enabling legislation in the early 2000s, uh, that 230 00:14:16,841 --> 00:14:19,806 allowed housing trust funds to exist. 231 00:14:21,083 --> 00:14:26,485 Annually, we apply for funds uh to the state for dollars. 232 00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:30,027 Uh, and these funds are used exclusively for uh lower to moderate 233 00:14:30,107 --> 00:14:31,954 income housing projects. 234 00:14:33,331 --> 00:14:36,476 Um, in Marion County here specifically in Knoxville, uh, 235 00:14:36,556 --> 00:14:39,420 projects include the Habitat for Humanity, 236 00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:42,994 uh, owner occupied repair program that they have. 237 00:14:43,074 --> 00:14:46,597 Uh, that is a that is a program that is uh funded by the Central 238 00:14:46,677 --> 00:14:48,624 Housing Trust Fund. 239 00:14:49,213 --> 00:14:52,807 Um, and more recently too, uh we provided funding on the 240 00:14:54,154 --> 00:14:57,079 veterans, uh what's the name of it? Veterans Park. 241 00:14:57,159 --> 00:14:59,674 Um, project, 242 00:14:59,754 --> 00:15:02,539 uh the senior living facility on the south side. 243 00:15:03,289 --> 00:15:06,403 number of funds from the Central Housing Trust Fund that went to that. 244 00:15:06,483 --> 00:15:09,647 Um, on your screen there though are the amounts of funding 245 00:15:09,727 --> 00:15:13,291 that have been received by the Central Housing Trust Fund. 246 00:15:13,430 --> 00:15:18,122 Uh, there have been, there'd generally been an increase in funding since 2020. 247 00:15:18,202 --> 00:15:21,875 Uh, part of that was the entire state was the entire state was then covered by Housing Trust Fund 248 00:15:21,955 --> 00:15:26,936 and there was an acknowledgement from the state that more money should be put into housing, 249 00:15:27,016 --> 00:15:32,676 uh, so one of those avenues was to allocate more funds to housing trust funds. 250 00:15:32,855 --> 00:15:36,469 And as part of that, there was an increase in local match. 251 00:15:36,599 --> 00:15:39,523 Uh, but uh each year 252 00:15:40,532 --> 00:15:42,448 might have this. 253 00:15:42,528 --> 00:15:48,457 Yeah. Anyway, each year there's funds that are required to be raised locally. 254 00:15:48,567 --> 00:15:51,681 Uh, the housing trust funds do that in a variety of ways. 255 00:15:51,761 --> 00:15:57,781 The Central Housing Trust Fund decided at inception that the best way to do that was to 256 00:15:57,861 --> 00:16:02,881 uh, have one entity provide a local guaranteed local match. 257 00:16:02,961 --> 00:16:05,437 And that's what the City of Knoxville has done. 258 00:16:05,517 --> 00:16:10,538 From inception has provided that guaranteed local match for the entire Four County region. 259 00:16:11,726 --> 00:16:15,908 Um, and you can see those amounts on the screen have steadily increased last year, 260 00:16:15,988 --> 00:16:22,127 uh, the City of Knoxville guaranteed that $143,302 in local match. 261 00:16:22,207 --> 00:16:25,491 Uh, this year the resolution that we're asking for tonight 262 00:16:25,571 --> 00:16:29,593 was for $49,000, $49,000 and $97, 263 00:16:29,673 --> 00:16:35,223 uh, because the state acknowledged that raising local funds for housing trust funds 264 00:16:35,303 --> 00:16:39,645 has become a struggle with the pressures on local government, 265 00:16:39,725 --> 00:16:45,175 uh, so they reduced the local match amount to 10% instead of previous years it was 25%. 266 00:16:45,255 --> 00:16:48,978 So, that's the change here recently. 267 00:16:49,058 --> 00:16:52,752 Uh, there was also just a general reduction for 2027 268 00:16:52,832 --> 00:16:56,126 in overall funding at the state level. 269 00:16:56,206 --> 00:17:00,238 So, funding's awarded on a two-year contract basis, 270 00:17:00,318 --> 00:17:05,139 All funds that have been awarded up through 2025 have been allocated and spent 271 00:17:05,219 --> 00:17:08,134 across the Four County region. 272 00:17:08,214 --> 00:17:11,638 Uh, there's still funds from 2026 that are being spent. 273 00:17:11,718 --> 00:17:17,387 Uh, and those amounts are listed there, about 39% of the funding has been spent 274 00:17:17,467 --> 00:17:21,460 and projects are actively spending those dollars as we speak. 275 00:17:23,217 --> 00:17:28,018 Uh, 2026 projects specifically that were funded through the Central Housing Trust Fund. 276 00:17:28,158 --> 00:17:32,400 Uh, as I mentioned, Habitat for Humanity here in Marion County has received funding, 277 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,415 they received about 226,000. 278 00:17:35,495 --> 00:17:40,735 Um, and I know that there's been a collaboration here with the City of Knoxville on that. 279 00:17:40,815 --> 00:17:44,688 Uh, the City of Newton did a waterline replacement program. 280 00:17:44,768 --> 00:17:49,340 Sally retirement home, that was window replacement, a senior living facility. 281 00:17:49,420 --> 00:17:56,407 Uh, Jasper County itself received funds for their general generally general relief program. 282 00:17:56,976 --> 00:17:59,861 Uh, Habitat for Humanity in Jasper County also received money. 283 00:17:59,941 --> 00:18:04,692 Uh, City of Norwalk, and More County Habitat also received money 284 00:18:04,772 --> 00:18:08,935 for non-occupied repair and then the Heal Housing and you know received funds 285 00:18:09,015 --> 00:18:12,748 to make repairs to their facility. 286 00:18:14,475 --> 00:18:20,025 Uh, as I as I noted earlier, each housing trust fund has to raise that local match. 287 00:18:20,324 --> 00:18:24,627 Uh, when and when the Central housing trust fund was created, it was decided that 288 00:18:24,707 --> 00:18:29,807 each funding recipient would have to raise their money, their local match. 289 00:18:29,887 --> 00:18:34,828 Uh, but to do that, we had to have an entity that was willing to 290 00:18:34,908 --> 00:18:40,468 guarantee that local match even though they might never come ask for that dollars. 291 00:18:40,548 --> 00:18:44,102 So, um, we put that local match requirement on the funding recipient 292 00:18:44,182 --> 00:18:47,056 and then you end up with a timing issue because 293 00:18:47,136 --> 00:18:53,255 we apply in October for our state funds and we have to have those local match dollars guaranteed. 294 00:18:53,335 --> 00:18:58,735 We then don't award funds out until January or February 295 00:18:58,815 --> 00:19:00,851 after we have state award. 296 00:19:00,931 --> 00:19:07,919 So, uh, there becomes a timing issue on that, so that's why we're here asking for that guarantee. 297 00:19:12,271 --> 00:19:15,635 So, that solution is that local match guaranteed resolution 298 00:19:15,715 --> 00:19:20,217 and the City of Knoxville as I mentioned has been doing that from the get-go. 299 00:19:21,814 --> 00:19:24,888 And I just want to point out for those that you were new, 300 00:19:24,968 --> 00:19:30,149 the Central Housing Trust Fund has never asked for this money, it's only been a guarantee on paper. 301 00:19:30,229 --> 00:19:34,721 Um, and I know that there's been some benefits like the thriving communities 302 00:19:34,801 --> 00:19:38,564 because that helped underscoring because you guys were able to 303 00:19:38,644 --> 00:19:41,349 add that to your things that you had done. 304 00:19:41,429 --> 00:19:44,573 Uh, so there has been some benefit that way for the city. 305 00:19:45,921 --> 00:19:46,754 [clears throat] 306 00:19:47,368 --> 00:19:51,740 So, I do have on here just in case this question comes up, what happens 307 00:19:51,820 --> 00:19:57,929 in the event Central Trust Fund is unable to secure the local match to meet the requirements, 308 00:19:58,199 --> 00:20:02,839 I suppose there could be some weird scenario where something like that happens, so there are a couple options. 309 00:20:02,919 --> 00:20:04,716 there that I have listed. 310 00:20:04,796 --> 00:20:07,790 you know, if the funds weren't raised by the applicants, 311 00:20:07,870 --> 00:20:09,677 which is a requirement for them to apply, but 312 00:20:09,757 --> 00:20:13,151 uh, if they were if that didn't happen, 313 00:20:13,610 --> 00:20:16,954 Um, the city would not be out of pocket for anything. 314 00:20:17,034 --> 00:20:21,066 We would send the money back. the corresponding state amount. 315 00:20:21,146 --> 00:20:23,831 uh, would return those funds. So, uh, there wouldn't be a 316 00:20:23,911 --> 00:20:26,926 requirement that the city, uh, actually double for these dollars. 317 00:20:27,185 --> 00:20:30,050 Um, and then also I have on here, if for example, 318 00:20:30,130 --> 00:20:33,175 the city wanted to use those dollars if there was 319 00:20:33,255 --> 00:20:36,459 something that was returned, uh, the city could come up with that 320 00:20:36,539 --> 00:20:39,523 local match and provide that and give the larger 321 00:20:39,603 --> 00:20:43,516 corresponding, uh, portion of the money as well. 322 00:20:43,596 --> 00:20:45,233 So, there are a couple options there if 323 00:20:45,313 --> 00:20:47,379 something like that were to happen, 324 00:20:47,589 --> 00:20:50,473 in all of the years that we've done this, it hasn't happened. 325 00:20:50,553 --> 00:20:53,688 So, Um, I, one last thing here just, you know, thank you to the 326 00:20:53,768 --> 00:20:57,162 City of Knoxville for continuing to do this. 327 00:20:57,331 --> 00:20:59,827 Um, it's been more than a four million dollar investment 328 00:20:59,907 --> 00:21:01,963 across the Four County region because of 329 00:21:02,043 --> 00:21:06,614 and here guys's willingness to go out and guarantee these, um, 330 00:21:06,694 --> 00:21:10,158 guarantee these dollars as far as local match is concerned. 331 00:21:10,238 --> 00:21:12,674 And as a note, uh, the mayor does serve on the 332 00:21:12,754 --> 00:21:15,289 Central Iowa housing Trust Fund board.

Motion 382 00:23:35,777 --> 00:23:38,332 by Lada, second by Rankin. 383 00:23:38,412 --> 00:23:39,609 Roll call, please. 384 00:23:39,689 --> 00:23:41,516 Lada? Yes. Ranken? 385 00:23:41,596 --> 00:23:44,531 Yes. Gotter? Yes. Nichols? Yes. 386 00:23:44,860 --> 00:23:45,938 Okay. 387 00:23:46,018 --> 00:23:48,434 44 is, uh, first consideration, possible wave second and third, 388 00:23:48,514 --> 00:23:54,193 adopt an ordinance pertaining to building code. 389 00:23:54,762 --> 00:23:56,479 just briefly. 390 00:23:57,008 --> 00:24:01,640 Um, as I mentioned at the first meeting in September, it's common practice for cities to 391 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:07,340 adopt building codes that are prepared and published by the International Code Council, ICC, 392 00:24:07,420 --> 00:24:11,532 which serve as a national model ensuring that local regulations reflect modern construction 393 00:24:11,612 --> 00:24:17,082 safety and economic realities. 394 00:24:17,841 --> 00:24:21,434 Um, specifically, uh, regarding tonight, we're we're speaking about the 395 00:24:21,514 --> 00:24:24,629 Knoxville building code, 396 00:24:24,709 --> 00:24:29,699 which is comprised of three ICC codes, um, 397 00:24:29,779 --> 00:24:32,245 presently. 398 00:24:32,564 --> 00:24:35,619 All of them are 2018 editions, and those include the 399 00:24:35,699 --> 00:24:38,365 International Building Code, the International 400 00:24:38,445 --> 00:24:40,570 Residential Code and the International 401 00:24:40,650 --> 00:24:43,395 existing Building Code. 402 00:24:43,475 --> 00:24:46,459 So essentially what this ordinance before you is 403 00:24:46,539 --> 00:24:49,105 proposing is to 404 00:24:49,324 --> 00:24:53,257 update and, uh, for the city to begin using we move from the 405 00:24:53,337 --> 00:24:57,370 2018 edition of those codes to the 2024 edition 406 00:24:57,450 --> 00:25:01,822 of those codes. 407 00:25:02,883 --> 00:25:09,870 And it's also common for cities to make some local amendments, which I explained at the last meeting, 408 00:25:11,028 --> 00:25:14,462 especially with the, as we were talking about the fire code. 409 00:25:14,542 --> 00:25:19,533 So not only does the ordinance before you, uh, formally adopt those 410 00:25:19,613 --> 00:25:21,629 2024 additions, 411 00:25:21,709 --> 00:25:26,980 but it also spells out some amendments 412 00:25:27,060 --> 00:25:32,679 to those codes so that we can tailor it if umm more to our needs and not. 413 00:25:32,759 --> 00:25:38,070 And probably the big the biggie is the big the biggie is the requirement in those national codes 414 00:25:38,150 --> 00:25:44,079 to require a fire sprinkler system in a one or two family residence, 415 00:25:44,159 --> 00:25:47,053 so a single family home or a duplex. 416 00:25:47,133 --> 00:25:50,687 Our amendment is saying that that's only required if you're 417 00:25:50,767 --> 00:25:55,339 for a single family home if it's over 8,000 square feet. 418 00:25:55,419 --> 00:25:57,914 So we're providing it, 419 00:25:57,994 --> 00:26:01,418 we're providing an exception, um, which is pretty common for 420 00:26:01,498 --> 00:26:05,131 a lot of communities to opt out of that. 421 00:26:05,211 --> 00:26:10,801 but that's just an example of how we're tailoring the national code models to 422 00:26:10,881 --> 00:26:15,253 best meet our our needs here locally. 423 00:26:16,151 --> 00:26:20,543 I got a couple of questions, um, and I'm no builder. 424 00:26:21,751 --> 00:26:27,032 If you look at some of the latest structures whether it be at home or commercial building built around here, 425 00:26:27,191 --> 00:26:29,717 Changing these codes to what we're planning to change it to 426 00:26:29,797 --> 00:26:31,533 the international code. 427 00:26:31,613 --> 00:26:33,909 how many of these buildings would have met everything in, you know, 428 00:26:33,989 --> 00:26:36,505 that the builders are already doing it or would we even require 429 00:26:36,585 --> 00:26:39,759 under our latest and greatest dwellings around here to have had 430 00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:42,055 some things done differently. 431 00:26:42,254 --> 00:26:45,748 So we're we're already using the in the these these 432 00:26:45,828 --> 00:26:48,383 we're already using these codes now. 433 00:26:48,463 --> 00:26:51,378 We're just using the 2018 additions. 434 00:26:51,508 --> 00:26:52,838 Um. 435 00:26:54,492 --> 00:27:00,861 There's a booklet, I guess, that goes along with that that explains what some of the changes are, 436 00:27:00,941 --> 00:27:03,726 but I can't I can't speak to each of those, 437 00:27:03,806 --> 00:27:07,359 but it's it's fairly common for communities to move to 438 00:27:07,439 --> 00:27:11,621 a more recent addition just because these codes 439 00:27:11,701 --> 00:27:18,689 aren't necessarily being updated to make it more difficult to build. 440 00:27:19,028 --> 00:27:24,518 They're also being updated to reflect changes in construction and to 441 00:27:24,598 --> 00:27:27,413 just be more current. 442 00:27:27,593 --> 00:27:31,556 Um, I think to answer your question, and then that a code expert, 443 00:27:31,636 --> 00:27:35,179 although I can pretend to be one. 444 00:27:36,836 --> 00:27:43,824 the international existing building code is probably the one that's, uh, comes into play more frequently. 445 00:27:44,193 --> 00:27:45,527 the 18 or the 24? 446 00:27:45,607 --> 00:27:46,440 Either one. 447 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:52,928 Um, with our existing buildings, particularly like the buildings on a square for instance, 448 00:27:53,008 --> 00:27:59,676 and that's a that's a code that recognizes that there are existing conditions in older buildings 449 00:27:59,756 --> 00:28:03,180 that, you know, we just have to live with. 450 00:28:03,260 --> 00:28:04,093 Okay. 451 00:28:04,173 --> 00:28:09,663 And, um, essentially accepts those conditions for what they are. 452 00:28:09,743 --> 00:28:15,672 So that essentially would prevent someone from having to install an elevator 453 00:28:15,752 --> 00:28:19,166 in an existing commercial building, 454 00:28:19,246 --> 00:28:22,271 like a two-story commercial building, which may be required of one. 455 00:28:26,383 --> 00:28:29,957 Yeah, my only concern, and the reason I I I asked that kind of question 456 00:28:30,037 --> 00:28:33,201 would be if I don't really want to use the term concern, but 457 00:28:33,570 --> 00:28:38,661 Yeah, I just want to make sure it doesn't stunt any progress while that 458 00:28:38,741 --> 00:28:41,186 we don't put ourselves in a position where 459 00:28:41,266 --> 00:28:45,269 we're not trying to make it more, um, difficult or more expensive. 460 00:28:45,349 --> 00:28:46,966 Cost is what I was mostly. 461 00:28:47,086 --> 00:28:49,961 Yeah. And that example about the fire sprinkler system, uh, 462 00:28:50,041 --> 00:28:54,193 there's a substantial cost that would go along with that that goes along with 463 00:28:54,273 --> 00:28:57,148 that if you're building a new single family home. 464 00:28:57,368 --> 00:29:01,021 You think some communities here in Iowa specifically adopt, you build a home, 465 00:29:01,101 --> 00:29:03,526 you got to put a fire sprinkler system? 466 00:29:03,606 --> 00:29:04,475 I don't. 467 00:29:04,555 --> 00:29:06,471 There's not a lot of that that is. 468 00:29:06,551 --> 00:29:09,306 So some have it like we do exempted out to a square footage 469 00:29:09,386 --> 00:29:11,442 and more like a duplex 470 00:29:11,522 --> 00:29:15,435 or so many units under under roof. 471 00:29:15,555 --> 00:29:16,413 That makes sense. 472 00:29:16,493 --> 00:29:20,586 Um, the state, so kind of what got us started on this path was 473 00:29:20,666 --> 00:29:24,000 in September, the state adopted the 24 editions of the code. 474 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,463 So they're kind of keep in line with the state. 475 00:29:29,210 --> 00:29:32,085 We felt it was time for us to, um, 476 00:29:32,165 --> 00:29:34,620 plus it also affects for ISO scoring if we can stay within 477 00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:36,876 fire code cycles. 478 00:29:36,956 --> 00:29:38,287 So, um, 479 00:29:39,103 --> 00:29:43,065 There's a lot that plays into when we adopt and when we move the codes, but, 480 00:29:43,215 --> 00:29:49,015 the goal is to keep it all as precise and local as we can. 481 00:29:49,494 --> 00:29:52,708 Yeah, I and the majority of communities, I would say in the Demoin area, 482 00:29:52,788 --> 00:29:57,130 not all adopted these ICC bottle codes. 483 00:29:57,330 --> 00:30:00,354 Um, they're all, I know Adela for instance, I think they're wrapping up 484 00:30:00,434 --> 00:30:02,049 tonight. 485 00:30:02,129 --> 00:30:04,545 adapting the 2024 editions as well. 486 00:30:04,625 --> 00:30:09,236 So that's also good for consistency purposes because you know, some of these 487 00:30:09,316 --> 00:30:14,327 developers work in multiple jurisdictions and so they're all sort of working on uh 488 00:30:14,407 --> 00:30:16,513 same or similar corporations. 489 00:30:16,603 --> 00:30:19,847 Do we ever, when something like this comes up, 490 00:30:19,927 --> 00:30:22,712 do we ever, do we have like a trusted panel of developers or anybody that 491 00:30:22,792 --> 00:30:25,976 would say, hey, this is what we're thinking about doing? 492 00:30:26,056 --> 00:30:29,600 What what what good, bad things you see of us adopting 493 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,195 or this kind of go by your knowledge. 494 00:30:32,375 --> 00:30:36,387 You know, you rely heavily on the expertise through our uh 495 00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:41,358 building inspection uh company, Kim. 496 00:30:41,438 --> 00:30:43,515 to they, I mean, 497 00:30:43,595 --> 00:30:47,168 when we were looking at the fire code, what we'd heavily into that was our own 498 00:30:47,248 --> 00:30:52,069 our own staff because we happen to have that that expertise on staff. 499 00:30:52,149 --> 00:30:56,751 In terms of, you know, building codes and inspections, we rely on 500 00:30:56,831 --> 00:31:00,684 the expertise of our consultant company, Kim. 501 00:31:00,764 --> 00:31:05,335 And so they weighed heavily into um what what should be adopted or what 502 00:31:05,415 --> 00:31:09,528 should be amended here locally based on what they're seeing other communities 503 00:31:09,608 --> 00:31:12,183 do as well. 504 00:31:12,503 --> 00:31:13,920 We're we're in no way, I think I 505 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,405 think you weren't here, but I explained it at the last meeting. 506 00:31:16,485 --> 00:31:19,510 We're in no way trying to be different from the other community, 507 00:31:19,590 --> 00:31:24,102 from the other community, we're we're wanting to be within the 508 00:31:24,182 --> 00:31:27,895 the realm of what is just generally expected by the development 509 00:31:27,975 --> 00:31:31,089 community. 510 00:31:31,169 --> 00:31:32,976 And I'm not always opposed to being different from it. 511 00:31:33,056 --> 00:31:38,775 But sure, when it comes to the, you know, the momentum we have there, I'd be very 512 00:31:38,855 --> 00:31:42,069 careful about yeah.
