NEWS LETTER
November 5, 2024
Dear Members,
I hope this letter finds you well. This is the first edition of our newsletter, designed to keep our membership informed. I am still determining whether this will be a monthly or quarterly update, so I appreciate your patience as I figure out what works best.
Here’s a quick update on what’s happening with MABOI:
We are about a month past our 2024 annual conference, which was a great success! I hope everyone who attended found valuable information to take home. Thank you to all who participated. We will provide details regarding the 2025 conference in the next few months.
Our 2024 educational seminars will conclude with a session on “The Design and Construction of Apartment Buildings.” This seminar will take place in Maryland Heights at 1191 Dorsett Rd. on November 20 at 8:30 AM. The event is nearly full, but there is currently room for about nine more attendees.
There is an interesting bill moving through the Missouri State Legislature that would allow for the establishment of a state building code. I have included a link to the House bill for more information regarding your jurisdiction. Please note that MABOI will not participate politically in state legislation. Here is the link: Missouri House of Representatives – HB 2870
Tim Schmitz, our ICC Regional Director, has shared the ICC Government Relations Monthly Update with us. I’ve included the link here for your review: November GRMU
The MABOI educational team is currently preparing a schedule of classes for 2025. Once we finalize the seminar information, we will pass it along to you.
I hope you found this newsletter informative. Until next time.
Kind regards,
Jeff Center
MABOI President
Voter Validation For the 2024–2026 Code Development Schedule
Members, for those who haven’t, please make sure you validate your voting rights for ICC. The deadline is fast approaching: September 21. https://www.iccsafe.org/voter-validation-process-faqs/. Right now, Missouri only has 36 voting representatives. It is vital to participate in the process as a government member. We must interpret, enforce, modify, and deal with every code; our say is what matters most to us, not lobbyists or special interest groups. Please register and participate in forming the next code cycle if you can. You can participate online through cdp Access, attendance to the hearings is not required.
The voting opportunities that will occur during this year’s code development cycle for properly validated GMVRs include:
- In-person voting at the Public Comment Hearing, and;
- The online voting for the Governmental Consensus Vote that follows the Public Comment Hearing (via cdpACCESS).
