C ,Building Code Enforcement Program - Manager said the State of Oregon has established . :a state building code and pre-empted that field from the cities and the counties. iThe statutes provide that the cities may continue to enforce building codes at the :local level. If they decide not to do so, it then becomes the responsibility of !the county. If the county opts out, it 'then falls under the state's jurisdiction. (The opinion was voiced that the City would prefer to continue operating its own :Building Division to maintain a locally operated service and thereby be more iresponsive to the peeds of the community. The statute requires that, if the city . is to continue the operation, it is necessary to inform the state by council action. Mr. Wood moved seconded by Mr. Murray that the State be advised of the City of Eugene's intention to maintain its own Building Department.
