Village adopts updated building and electrical codes (Bill 25-08)
Summary
Trustees approved Bill No. 25-08 to update the villages adopted building and electrical codes to current international and national editions; the ordinance passed by vote at the meeting after first/second readings.
Trustees voted to adopt Bill No. 25-08, an ordinance updating the villages building and electrical codes. The measure restates chapter 8 and moves the villages adopted technical codes to the 2024 international building codes and the 2023 national electrical code editions.
Clerk/staff read the ordinance text for first and second reading. A trustee moved to approve the ordinance; the motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion passed.
Legal and staff speakers had earlier recommended updating the villages code references to the newer editions to ensure the village enforces current construction and electrical standards. Trustees said the update is intended to provide clearer enforcement authority and bring local regulations into line with more recent model-code editions.
The ordinance language read at the meeting references replacing previously adopted 2018 building-code references and 2017 electrical-code references with their more recent counterparts. Trustees approved the ordinance during the meeting.
