Old Business:
Adoption of 2000 International Code Council Building Codes -The change with the codes
were related to energy standards. There are currently 14 code districts nationwide. It is possibly
that they will be reduced to 5 districts. Hopefully this will allow a more efficient program. The
Department of Energy is working with builders to make the determination that would be suitable
for all parties. At the present time the codes will stay as they are, but also at the same time, work
toward higher standards for energy conservation. It was noted that the Department will have their
new standards developed and in place by 2006. A question was asked if any of the local
communities have gone with the new standards. Building inspector Dettmer said no. This item
is to be placed on the January 14 council agenda.
GASB 34 Project Implementation Proposal -The GASB 34 Implementation Proposal gave a
breakdown of the hours required to complete the project and the projected costs. There is
$35,000 available in this year's budget to cover a portion of the costs. GASB will allow for the
documentation of the City assets and will also be used to help set City policy. This item is to be
placed on the January 14 council agenda.

Yorkville /Engineering Agreement - Countryside Interceptor -This is for update only. The
