CALBO Endorsements for the 2019 ICC Board of Directors
Dear CALBO Colleague,
With the International Code Council’s (ICC) Annual Conference coming west, several of our members plan to attend and have asked about CALBO’s endorsements for the ICC Board of Directors. Please find below the official list of candidates that have been endorsed by CALBO:
CALBO 2019 Innovative Practices Survey
To better serve the changing needs of CALBO members, the CALBO Innovative Practices Committee (IPC) each summer designs and conducts a member survey on issues relevant to the identification, adoption and implementation of technologies and practices which aid building departments in their administration and enforcement of building codes and standards within the state.
This year’s survey builds upon input received from previous surveys and needs expressed by CALBO members throughout the year, including the IPC’s presentation at the March, 2019 CALBO ABM in San Diego.
This year, we are surveying on three issues:
- The relative costs by jurisdiction size of information technology services.
- Actions relevant to going “paperless” in code administration and enforcement programs.
- Use of drones by building departments.
We appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey by September 15, 2019. Survey results will be compiled by the IPC and shared with respondents. In addition, an article summarizing the survey results will appear in CALBO News – Fall 2019 Edition.
Thank you in advance for your time!

CALBO and ICC Host Discussion of Federal and State Leaders on Seismic Resiliency and Functional Recovery
SACRAMENTO: Months of planning and
collaboration came together on Thursday, July 25, 2019 as the
International Code Council (ICC) and California Building
Officials (CALBO) hosted the Seismic
Roundtable. Governmental leaders, code officials and
industry professionals were all invited to meet and exchange
ideas at the California State Capitol as part of the
event.
Since early 2019, ICC and CALBO have been working towards providing this forum facilitating the conversation relative to seismic resiliency and functional recovery. Following a tumultuous year of seismic resiliency legislation in 2018, both organizations realized the need to bring stakeholders together in a positive, productive and informed manner.
The stated goal for the day was to determine a nationally applicable approach to seismic functional recovery for new construction. To do so, a highly diverse group of governmental and industry experts presented applicable findings in the morning, which was immediately followed by a professionally facilitated roundtable. The timing of the event was clearly underscored by the recent earthquakes in Ridgecrest and the Searles Valley.
