Moved by Alderman Mabbett:

Seconded by Alderman Keryluk:

That By-Law No. 1399 be read a second time. Carried.

By-law No. 1400, proposed to amend the "City of Port Coquitlam
Building and Plumbing Code Administration By-law, 1974, No. 1298" was
then submitted for initial consideration, and the City Administrator
explained that under the present By-law, which provides for adoption of
the National Ruilding Code, adequate coverage is not given for construction
of farm buildings and for this aspect it would be necessary to adopt
the Canadian Code for Farm Buildings. Alderman Keryluk stated he was
not prepared to support the By-law as it now stands; however, the City
Clerk advised that the Council is bound to use the National Building
Code which is issued by Ottawa and adopted by the Province, to the
extent made applicable by the Province. When the Provincial Order in
Council was first passed to bring the National Building Code into effect
throughout the Province of British Columbia, it provided that the Canadian
Code for Farm Buildings apply to farm buildings. The Province then
amended the regulation to provide that the National Building Code did
not apply and that nothing applied unless the Council by By-law provided
that the Canadian Code for Farm Buildings apply, and the case Council is
well familiar with has prompted drafting of the proposed amending by-
law, as at present construction of farm buildings in the City is un-
regulated. Alderman Keryluk stated his view that the proposed By-law
will not undo what has been done in spite of our objections, but in
terms of farm buildings in the Agricultural area, whose concern is it if
a person wants to construct a barn or storage shed; however, Mayor
Campbell pointed out that the Council is responsible for the safety of
everyone in the City, and he stated he preferred to have some control
over buildings constructed in rural areas.
