1.0 Call to Order and Roll Call (2 minutes)

2.0 Presentation by Stuart Posselt, AIA, the Managing Partner of the California Building Standards Commission’s 2000 Code Partnership. The Building Standards Commission formed the public/private 2000 Code Partnership (2kCP) to address the changes taking place in code writing industry and to recommend which model codes should be the basis of the 2001 California Building Standards Code - Title 24.

The Commission charged the 2kCP with Phase II tasks to identify any conflicts between the recommended codes and suggested solutions. The 2kCP started meeting in June of 1998 and is now in Phase II of the process.

Mr. Posselt will present a historical overview of the 2kCP, where it is now and where it is going, and when it is expected to arrive. This very large and complex task, which has never before been undertaken, is still being invented as it unfolds. This process is not intended to modify model code provisions but to address conflicts. There will be a question and answer period regarding the content of the presentation. (90 minutes)

3.0 Report, discussion and possible action on the degree of involvement of the City of San Francisco and Department of Building Inspection (DBI) with the State Building Code development process, monitoring of the State Building Codes, and current status of DBI code development process.
