ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 11.4-4(B)(18) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE – INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE: Ordinance No. 5402: MOTION: Councilmember Reece moved, seconded by Councilmember Scott, the Council Approve an Ordinance Amending Section 11.4-4(B)(18) of the Municipal Code – International Residential Code. City Manager Mark Peterson gave a brief history of this item. Mr. Peterson further indicated Staff believed the requirement to install sprinkler systems in new one and two- family dwellings was an extremely important safety feature in new construction. Mr. Peterson further indicated Staff acknowledged the costs involved in this requirement and suggested this requirement be delayed for implementation until January 1, 2013, for the following reasons: (1) the homebuilding industry has been hit hard by the recession; and (2) several neighboring municipalities have been slow to adopt the 2009 Code with the sprinkler requirement. Councilmember Nielsen indicated it appeared clear that the other communities have chosen not to implement the Code and suggested the Town delay the implementation of the sprinkler requirement until the City of Bloomington has adopted the requirement. AMENDMENT TO MOTION: Councilmember Nielsen moved, seconded by Councilmember Fritzen, Ordinance Amending Section 11.4-4(B)(18) be Amended by Changing that Portion of the Text Reading "January 1, 2012" to "Upon Adoption by the City of Bloomington, Illinois." COUNCIL MINUTES -4- NOVEMBER 7, 2011 Councilmember Fritzen commented he agreed with Councilmember Nielsen. Simply extending the implementation for a period of a year may not be sufficient; we need to parallel what the City of Bloomington requires. Councilmember Chambers indicated he was ok with the proposed changes, as he did not see the circumstances changing significantly over the next year. Councilmember Reece commented on the additional cost of adding sprinkler systems to homes, but also indicated the benefit to the homeowner in the case of a fire. Councilmember Scott indicated he had spoken to many developers, and all expressed concern with the additional cost the sprinkler systems would add to new construction. Councilmember Fritzen indicated the Town had always been supportive of the International Codes and adopted them in a timely manner. Councilmember Fritzen questioned the reasoning behind this requirement in the 2009 International Residential Code, as well as the opinions of the insurance industries on this requirement. City Manager Mark Peterson indicated the reason the Council had not been lobbied by the insurance industry was because the Council had adopted the requirement. Fire Chief Mick Humer addressed the Council, indicating the Fire Department had worked with the insurance industry in setting up demonstrations prior to the Town implementing the Code. Chief Humer indicated the materials currently being used in the building industry were referred to as “quick-burn” as they were more of a composite material, and although they are considered to be strong and durable, they are held together with a glue that disintegrates with exposure to heat. Chief Humer referred to a fire in the Savannah Green Subdivision in which the floors caved in quite quickly in the kitchen area, and the appliances were hanging by their cords into the basement area. A sprinkler system would have kept the fire in check and would also protect the firefighters fighting the fires. ROLL CALL VOTE ON AMENDMENT TO MOTION: AYES: Fritzen, Scott, Chambers, Reece, Nielsen, Koos. NAYS: None. ABSENT: Gaines. Motion declared carried.

For DXers in the Northern US and Canada, the best thing about the month of April is that May follows it. April is a teaser. The weather can be warm like May leading us to think that we’ll turn on the TV to see some Es or tropo, but it doesn’t happen. Day after day goes by without a trace of anything. Weather doesn’t co-operate. Even the first half of May can be like that. But DX has to kick in sometime, so let’s just wait and see. In the meantime, make sure your gear is ready and in shape for when it finally happens.
