The International Building Code, 2018 edition, as revised, (including
all appendix chapters of said code), published by the International
Code Council is hereby adopted as the municipal building code of the
city for the purpose of protecting the health, safety and welfare
of the citizens of the city. This building code is fully incorporated
by reference as though copied into this article in its entirety. The
material contained in the International Building Code, although fully
adopted and incorporated by reference in this article, shall not be
included in the formal municipal codification of ordinances but shall
be maintained as a public record in the office of the city secretary.
(Ordinance 1263-2020, sec. 1, adopted 1/28/20; Ordinance
1396-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
The International Building Code, 2018 edition, as adopted herein
is hereby amended to meet the unique building systems within the city,
as shown in exhibit A attached to Ordinance 1396-2023.
(Ordinance 1263-2020, sec. 2, adopted 1/28/20; Ordinance
1396-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
The material contained in exhibit A to Ordinance 1396-2023,
although fully adopted and incorporated by reference, shall not be
included in the formal municipal codification of ordinances. The material
contained in exhibit A shall instead be maintained as a public record
in the office of the city secretary. This exhibit will be available
for public inspection and copying during regular business hours. The
purpose of maintaining these records separate and apart from the municipal
codification is to avoid the inclusion of detailed technical construction
materials, subject to frequent change, which would unreasonably lengthen
the code
(Ordinance 1263-2020, sec. 3, adopted 1/28/20; Ordinance
1396-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
The city may from time to time determine that additional local
modifications to the codes adopted herein are necessary and appropriate
to meet the unique building needs of the city. To effectuate modifications,
the city council may enact individual ordinances amending this division
fully setting forth the change to be made in the specific code. Such
subsequent amendments shall be consolidated as an exhibit to Ordinance
1396-2023 and shall be maintained as a public record in the office
of the city secretary.
(Ordinance 1263-2020, sec. 4, adopted 1/28/20; Ordinance
1396-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
Any person, firm or corporation who violates, disobeys, omits, neglects or refuses to comply with or who resists the enforcement of any of the provisions of this division shall be fined as provided in section 1.01.009 of this code. Each day that a violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense.
(Ordinance 1263-2020, sec. 5, adopted 1/28/20; Ordinance
1396-2023 adopted 11/28/2023)
The office of building inspector is hereby created, and the

which official may also be the public works director of the city.
(1965 Code, sec. 5-25)
The building inspector shall be appointed by the city manager.
His appointment shall continue during good behavior and satisfactory
service. He shall be subject to removal only as and on the same conditions
of other appointees of the city.
(Ordinance 1239-2019, sec. 12, adopted 8/13/19)
Unless otherwise specifically appointed, the first assistant
to the public works director shall act as building inspector during
the temporary absence or disability of the building inspector.
(1965 Code, sec. 5-27)
