One topic that was of particular interest to attendees was the new pump and tank code changes that the Florida Legislature recently incorporated into Florida's Building Code. A program on this subject, presented by Carl Wood and Griffin Crosby, Jr., concerned changes to the code and the impact they will have on FGWA members. The new code is scheduled to be implemented on July 1, 2001. However, due to time constraints on educating inspectors about the new code, an effort is underway to delay its implementation until Oct. 1, 2001.
Another business matter attended to at the conference was the election of new officers for 2001. Selected to hold the leadership positions are Wayne Smith, president; Griffin Crosby, Jr., vice-president; and Dottie Mixon Roberts, secretary/treasurer.
