DISCUSSION:
Texas HB 2858, has adopted the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) as the municipal swimming pool and spa code in this
state. All municipalities in Texas that elect to regulate pools or spas will do so in accordance with the 2018 ISPSC. This bill also provides for the
adoption of local amendments.
The North Central Texas Council of Governments' (NCTCOG) Regional Codes Coordinating Committee (RCCC) and its five advisory boards
conducted open meetings over a one-year period to review the 2018 editions of the International Codes and to develop regional amendments.
Their review and recommendations were completed and endorsed by NCTCOG's Executive Board on September 27, 2018. Now NCTCOG
encourages jurisdictions in North Central Texas to adopt the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code along with its respective regional
amendments. The adopting ordinance was posted on the website to gather public comments on the adoption per Texas Local Government Code
Section 214.217 (a-e) on July 7, 2020. The local Texas Pool and Spa Coalition and the Development Advisory Board are aware of the code
adoption and have not voiced any concerns.
There is no fee increase proposed in this ordinance.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of these recommendations will have no material effect on City funds.
