in Sacramento were the last of a 3-year cycle for the new 1994 codes. The new code
books will be published by February 1994 for review and will be adopted in January 1995
for enforcement. Staff will come forth to the Board approximately this time next year to

the title due to the fact that the Board hears appeals of other areas such as disabled
access.
Staff will be returning to the Board in December to approve an Ordinance change which
