The South Pittsburg Mayor and Commissioner Board held the second reading and public hearing for Ordinances 853 and 854 during their latest meeting under old business. There were no public comments from the community during the hearing for either ordinance.

Ordinance 853, officially titled “An Ordinance of the Board of Mayor and Commissioners of South Pittsburg, Tennessee Adopting the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), 2018 Edition,” was discussed first. This ordinance adopts the 2018 IECC as published by the International Code Congress (ICC), along with some exceptions. The board clarified that a section related to the energy code had been left out in a previous update, and this ordinance would correct that oversight by aligning the city’s building code with the 2018 edition.

Next, Ordinance 854 was introduced. This ordinance is an amendment to Ordinance No. 787, updating the city’s sewer use regulations and adopting new wastewater standards.

The board unanimously approved both Ordinance 853 and Ordinance 854 on their second readings without further discussion.
