2.0       Approval of the minutes of the subcommittee meeting of April 14, 2003.

 

  1. Discussion and possible action regarding an apparent inconsistency between San Francisco Building Code Section 1701.2, Item 3, Special Inspector (life safety system reports) and California Building Code Section 905.15.9, (Smoke Control) Reports by design professionals for the life-safety systems in high-rise buildings.  California Building Code Section 905.15.9 requires a complete report of inspection and testing by the special inspector for smoke control systems.  The possible action will be to make a recommendation to the full Code Advisory Committee for their further action.

 


 

  1. Discussion and possible action regarding the development of a possible new Administrative Bulletin on special inspection and testing of smoke control systems by extracting those provisions dealing with smoke control systems from the existing Administrative Bulletin AB-046. The possible action will be to make a recommendation to the full Code Advisory Committee for their further action.

 

  1. Discussion and possible action regarding possible changes to Administrative Bulletin AB-046 regarding special inspection procedures.  Administrative Bulletin AB-046 has minor references to smoke control but primarily covers special inspection of structural components.  The possible action will be to make a recommendation to the full Code Advisory Committee for their further action.

 

6.0       Public Comment.  Comment time is limited to 3 minutes per person or at the call of the Chair.

 

7.0       Subcommittee Members’ and Staff’s identification of agenda items for the next meeting, as well as current agenda items to be continued to another subcommittee regular meeting or special meeting. Subcommittee discussion and possible action regarding administrative issues related to building codes.
