the effective date is December 1, 2010. Municipalities may rat amead the Code. The Code
includes the following; 2009 ICC Building rode — Commerical, 2W9 ICC Residential Cade,
2009 ICC Existing Building Code, 2009 ICC Energy Conservation Code, ASHRAE Slumlords,
62.1, 62.2, and 90. 1, and the Maine Radon Standard for New Residential Construction. The
attached Council Orders will ensure that the City is administering and enforcing the Code which
is consistent with the new State mandate. In addition the Orders will ensure that the City has
adopted the new Code by the effective date of December 1,2010.
