standards throughout the City of Boynton Beach, and
WHEREAS, said City Council reserves the right to adopt an
even stricter building code if deemed necessary to preserve the
health, safety and general welfare of its citizens, and

Southern Standard Building Code, as amended by the City, the pro-
posed legislation could effectively repeal the sign code of the
City, and
WHEREAS, fire districts of the City are controlled by the
Southern Standard Building Code, as amended by the City, this
proposed legislation could abrogate this control, and
WHEREAS, regulation of building permits is a vital commu-
nity function, dealt with by the Southern Standard Building Code,
as amended to preserve health, safety and welfare of the citizens
of this City.
