Title 24, Part 3, 2004 California

of the year. The BSC publication committee met July 20 to discuss the
publication of Title 24 Part 5 the 2004 California Electrical Code (CEC)
using the 2002 National Electrical Code as the base reference.
Commissioners Hill, Brink and Sauer voted unanimously to recommend to the
full CBSC that the CEC be published out of sequence without the build,
plumbing and mechanical codes.

Agencies due to executive order S-2-03 form the Governors office.

Greg reported that the Sacramento Valley Fire Marshals Association is looking
forward to the next joint meeting in May 2005. They are looking to have a
combination pex system installed in one of the structures at the fire training
center. The Fire Marshals asked for the Building Officials position on flex
sprinkler heads. The system is held in place by the T-Bar and is not directly

did not compromise the structure.
