| SN-ICC Announces EduCode Grant Program |  The purpose of this grant is to promote and encourage building code officials within the state of Nevada to gain a better understanding of the requirements and intent of the latest adopted state energy code, the 2009 IECC. In addition, state resident design professionals and industry contractors will be eligible under a special allotment of the grant this year, to encourage their participation in compliance with this code. We have changed the entire way we are processing the grant this year, in order to eliminate the delays in issuance of reimbursement checks that was a problem last year. Instead of waiting for checks to be issued from Washington DC, all money for the grant will be held by the State Energy Office, who will be in charge of reimbursement issuance.
NOTE: This year we have a very brief time period from the end of EduCode to the date when the grant terminates. Therefore, all reimbursement requests must be filled out correctly and in to the address below no later than Saturday, March 10, 2012. This only gives the grant recipient a week to get all paperwork filled out and in to Don White. Packets received later than this date may be denied. Because of this very short time frame, we are encouraging grant recipients to submit grant reimbursement request packets to Don White in person prior to leaving EduCode.

| Code Change Committee Forming |  The Southern Nevada Chapter of ICC held a meeting to begin the development of proposed amendments to the 2012 IBC codes for incorporation into the 2015 codes. The first meeting was held on September 22 and a follow-up meeting was held on October 21. Since this is the first time SN-ICC has coordinated amendments for incorporation into the base code, we are focusing on those that have the greatest opportunity of success. A copy of our local amendments can be obtained directly from http://snbo.snicc.org/welcome_html_files/2009_IBC_Amendments_-_Published_Edition_12-17-10.pdf Other applicable amendments that may be determined prudent can be discussed and submitted after our initial focus is completed. If you are interested in joining this process, please contact Doug Evans, 1st VP of the chapter, at dhe@clarkcountynv.gov. |
