Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance amending Chapter 5 (Buildings and Construction), Article VIII (Electrical Code) of the City Code for the purpose of adopting the 2023 National Electrical Code, a publication of the National Fire Protection Association and adopting local amendments thereto, effective January 16, 2025.
Body
The Building Standards Board (BSB) met on November 19, 2024, and voted to recommend that the City Council adopt the 2023 Edition of the National Electrical Code with amendments. The amendments were reviewed and recommended for adoption by an advisory committee of the North Central Texas Council of Governments and conform to building practice within the region. Staff, along with the BSB, made every effort to eliminate local amendments that have been determined to be unnecessary.
Recommended/Desired Action
Following the public hearing, staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
