| McKinney (Texas) Building Inspection and Fire Department Adopts 2012 International Codes  The Building Inspection and Fire Department of the city of McKinney, Texas, held a public meeting August 15 to provide information on the recently adopted 2012 International Codes (I-Codes) and 2011 National Electric Code (NEC). The meeting was attended by approximately 90 persons associated with the development of commercial and residential property in the city.The city of McKinney was previously under the 2005 NEC and the 2006 I-Codes since July of 2008, and had been reviewing the two code cycle changes for the last six months. To enhance the adoption procedure, an inquiry was made to International Code Council Product Development Vice President Hamid Naderi in late June 2013, which resulted in the city receiving valuable transition training books, specifically addressing the 2006 to 2012 code changes. These changes were evaluated and combined with the already reviewed code changes, which resulted in the city staff preparation of a Key Code Change report. This report was provided to the city council, expediting the code adoption approval on July 16. These same Key Code Change reports were also provided to the public that attended the meeting on August 15. The city of McKinney is approximately 30 miles north of downtown Dallas, with a population of more than 141,000. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in America, and was recognized as a stand-out community in Money Magazine's list of the Best Places to Live in American in 2012. |
