Clarification and correction to the minutes was recommended by Brian Connell. With  
respect to the comment made about not many major changes in the beginning of the  
IBC, it was from an online source, not a text published by ICC. Also the Section  
107.2.6 that was deleted in the 2024 edition there was a recommended amendment  
with respect to easements that was recommended to maintain in its place.  
Sections 111.3, 113, and 114.4 were approved as written during the 2021 review.  
Minutes were called to vote by Connell. All approved.

looking at the amendments to chapter 3.

903.2.1.2 (Group A-2) was discussed. Brian Connell provided history about the  
amendment language the the reason behind the amendment. Looking at today’s  
community layout and the focus of the amendment, it is not necessary at this time.  
Nina confirmed that in her time at the City of Columbia, it has rarely been utilized  
with the amended language. It was discussed to bring up in the next IFC meeting to  
discuss with Fire to make sure both are in alignment.  
Brian Connell made a motion to “Delete the amendment for section 903.2.1.2 and revert  
back to the IBC wording”. 2nd by Weber. All agreed.  
Section 905.11 was amended in 2021 and reviewed and approved as written in 2021.

not in the text of IBC. It was discussed why this may or may not be necessary based  
on the use group and intentions. Connell made motion to remove the amendment.  
Schreiber 2nd. All approved.  
1301.1.1 was reviewed. It was decided to remove the amendment wording and  
supplement the IBC 2024 text with “as amended” at the end of the statement.

7 and not needed as an amendment. Weber made motion to delete the amendment.
