Buffalo Street, Chandler, AZ 85225 Dear Tao: Subject: Support for the Adoption of the 2024 I-Codes I hope this message finds you well. On behalf of the International Code Council (ICC), I am writing to express our strong support for the adoption of the 2024 International Codes (I-Codes) as proposed by the Board of Appeals in the City of Chandler. The adoption of the 2024 I-Codes represents a significant and forward-thinking step toward ensuring the safety, sustainability, and efficiency of our built environment. These codes have been meticulously developed through a comprehensive process involving extensive research, stakeholder input, and expert review. They incorporate the latest advancements in building technology and safety practices, and address critical areas such as energy efficiency, accessibility, and disaster resilience. By embracing the 2024 I-Codes, you are not only prioritizing the well-being of your citizens, builders, and customers, but also mitigating unnecessary increases in construction costs. The commitment to adopting these codes reflects a proactive approach to modernizing the regulatory framework and enhancing the quality of construction within your jurisdiction. We fully support the recommendation to move forward with the adoption process and urge the City Council to review and approve the proposed adoption of the 2024 I-Codes. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your ongoing commitment to building safety and sustainability. Sincerely, Rick Bluntzer Regional Manager for Government Relations
