Paul Melby

International Code Council Orange Empire Chapter President

Letter from the President:

Chapter members and Constituents, thank you for your confidence and support for me as your Chapter President. I look forward to serving you and representing the Chapter and all its members at events and advocating our Chapter in 2017.

The mission of the ICC Orange Empire Chapter is to enforce and administrate the adopted codes; those codes minimize the loss of life and property. ICC Orange Empire is tasked with providing training and education that create uniform code awareness whereas building departments, construction and design professionals understand the importance of consistent code enforcement that benefits the community and creates a standard that is expected.

The promotion of the Building Codes throughout our communities is a vital part of the prevention of injuries and deaths related to construction. As Building Departments, our message is difficult to deliver; education, patience, consistency and the evaluation of circumstances are critical to the code application we are tasked to administer.

Paul J. Melby, C.B.O. ICC Orange Empire President Building Official City of Rancho Santa Margarita
