,

Codes. Chairman Waldrum inquired of Council Member Pickle as to the Council's charge
for this Committee. Council Member Pickle said that Council had discussed adoption of
the 2006 Codes, but with amendments to adhere to the needs of Paris. Chairman
Waldrum asked if the Fire and Building Codes should be considered together and Chief
Grooms answered in the affirmative. Council Member Pickle said he would like for the
Committee to be able to present something to Council in April, because in May a new
Council would be seated.

1. Call meeting to order.
Chairman Waldrum called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. The following members were
present: Mike Davenport, John Fuston, Jerry Haning, Johnny Norris, Bobby Smallwood, and
Carolyn Whelchel. Council Member Kear was present. Also, present were city staff Kevin
Carruth, Kent McIlyar, Janice Ellis, Ronnie Grooms, Dale Mayberry, and Shawn Napier.
2. Deliberate and review of the Fire and Building Codes.
Chairman Waldrum asked John Fuston to inform the Committee about the occupancy
section, as discussed at their last meeting. Mr. Fuston referred the Committee to the Building
Code, Section 302, which referred to assembly. He said that the greatest loss of lives in any one
single incident is where people assemble. Mr. Fuston reviewed the list of classifications and
subsequently referred the Committee to Chapters 8, 9 and 10 of the Fire Code. Fire Marshal
Dale Mayberry answered questions from the Committee regarding sprinkler systems, fire alarms
and the number of exits required under certain circumstances. The Committee also reviewed
definitions in the Building Code (page 23) and the Fire Code (page 29).
Fire Chief Grooms pointed out the City was currently operating under the 2003 Building
Code, which mandated sprinkler systems for new construction or with the change of use of the
building. Carolyn Whelchel said she did not believe there was a question with regard to codes for
new construction, but for existing buildings. The Committee discussed options other than a
sprinkler system, such as a dry powder system.
Chairman Waldrum moved to the proposed Ordinance and asked Chief Grooms if the
proposed ordinance was the recommendation of staff. Chief Grooms said that it was the
recommendation of the Fire Department to adopt the 2006 International Fire Code with
amendments, as well as the amendments to the City Code of Ordinances as outlined in the
proposed Ordinance.
Mr. Waldrum stated that he had spoken with City Attorney Kent McIlyar earlier that day
and it was his understanding that COG had made some of the recommendations. Mr. McIlyar
said that COG (North Central Texas Council of Government) had studied the 2006 International
Fire Code for approximately one year and recommended that their cities adopt the amendments.
Mr. McIlyar also said that once COG's recommendations were received, that city staff reviewed,
discussed and decided as to whether or not the amendments were best for the City of Paris.
.
~x~ a
The Committee discussed definitions and decided that Section 12-52(b) needed different
wording to clarify that the fire code official shall mean the fire marshal.
As discussion of the amendments continued, Council Member Kear stated that adoption
of the 2006 Fire Code would be beneficial to staff and citizens, in that the process of inspections
would be more uniform. Chief Grooms said that staff was currently operating under the 1994
Fire Code, the 2003 Building Code and the City of Paris Ordinances. Council Member Kear
reiterated that sprinkler systems were already mandated under the 2003 Building Code.
Chairman Waldrum said it was his understanding that the Fire Code had separate rules
for historic districts. Chief Grooms said Section 34.07 of the Building Code contained rules for
the Historic District. Chairman Waldrum asked the Committee to review the next several pages
of the proposed Ordinance in order to be prepared for the next meeting.
3. Future agenda items.
Chairman Waldrum asked the Committee if they wanted to meet December 1 St and 15 `h or
have one meeting on December 8th. It was a consensus of the Committee to meet on December
8tn at 5:00 p.m.
4. Adjournment.
