explanation

At its meeting of November 26, 2001, the City Commission approved the City Manager's recommendation to authorize the City Attorney to prepare and the Clerk of the Commission to advertise an ordinance:  (1) adopting an amended version of the Administration Chapter of the Florida Building Code for use in enforcing the Florida Building Code and 2) amending Chapter 6 of the Code of Ordinances to establish I-75 as the dividing line for 100 MPH and 110 MPH structural wind calculations (the "wind speed line").  The attached ordinance accomplishes this.
