SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The 2017 Edition of Standards and Specifications for Design and Construction of Public Improvements (Standards and Specifications) was adopted by the Board of Trustees in December 2016. In order to insure the Standards and Specifications are kept current, periodic updates are necessary.
Since the last update, there have been changes in some industry standards and materials and construction practices that require updating this document. We have updated and reviewed these changes for the 2018 Edition of the Standards and Specifications and also made some clarifications. A summary of these changes is attached. These Standards and Specifications are consistent with the most recent Unified Development Code.
Per statute requirement, prior to consideration of the Ordinance, a Public Hearing should be held. Copies of the Ordinance along with the amended language are available in the Town Clerk’s Office for review.
