Item Nos. 10 -12 <br />As with all adopted codes in Texas, local jurisdictions can adopt amendments to better suit the <br />region's specifications. The North Central Texas Council of Governments ( NCTCOG) has a <br />code committee and five advisory boards dedicated to the review and analysis of newly released <br />codes. NCTCOG recommends adoption of the 2015 set of ICC codes with a comprehensive list <br />of amendments. These codes, along with the amendments, would bring Paris up to date and <br />more consistent with area jurisdictions. By adopting a set of codes that are acknowledged as the <br />industry standard for building construction, paired with consistent application and enforcement, <br />Paris will improve in the areas of public safety, health, welfare and development. <br />BUDGET: This ordinance has no fiscal impact. Resource materials and training are included in <br />the 2017 -2018 budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve the adoption of the 2015 International Building Code (IBC), <br />Residential Code (IRC), Existing Building Code (IEBC), Fire Code (IFC), Plumbing Code (IPC), <br />Fuel Gas Code and the 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC), along with local amendments as <br />recommended by the NCTCOG. <br />
