On April 18 – 19, the Building Division hosted a 2-day class on the code changes from the 2006
to 2012 ICC Building Codes. This was done in preparation for the July 1, 2013 State of South
Carolina implementation of the new codes and individual Code Enforcement license renewals.
The class was funded by the State LLR Code Enforcement Association and taught by England
Enterprises. Some significant items covered were the new wind maps, residential sprinklers
(townhouses), carbon monoxide detectors, HVAC mandatory fresh air intakes, and child proof
receptacles. The class had in attendance more than 50 on Thursday and 38 on Friday, including
contractors, engineers, architects and code officials from as far away as Louisiana. Each day the
code officials acquired 7 hours of CEU’s towards maintaining their State SC LLR licenses. This
proved to be a successful event at no cost to the Building Division.

Each year the Town undergoes a Workers’ Compensation Payroll Audit conducted by the SC
Municipal Association as part of its risk management program. The purpose of the audit is to
ensure that employees are categorized under the correct WC risk code, that we have required
certificates of WC insurance coverage from contractors, and that our payroll data/contributions
are correct.
Due to employee efforts during the year and in preparing for the audit, the Town received a
credit of $8,046 for 2012. The auditor also complimented the Town for the thoroughness and
accuracy of information provided.
The following deserve special recognition for their contributions: team leader (Lisa Stauffer),
staff involved in obtaining WC insurance certificates from contractors, and employees
responsible for provision of audit documentation (Eileen Buckalew, Nancy Gill, Kathy Lucas,
and Victoria Shanahan).
