2. M. Benson advised of a conversation with M. Sauvegeau regarding latest Building Code revisions
and their effect on the Stretch Code. The new 8' edition of the IBC Code is now in effect and as
predicted has stronger requirements than the previous code with the anticipated resultant effect of
an increase in Stretch Code requirements - although no action has been taken yet. Expectation is
that the Stretch Code may still be proposed for adoption at the Spring Town Meeting but is
pending further developments.

the webmaster. J. McQuaid will access the web page and provide updates.
