Council accepts IBC/IEBC comments, adds note for embodied carbon appendix

The council voted to accept the public-comment summary for the IBC and IEBC and to direct staff to prepare draft CR103 language that incorporates changes approved in council work sessions.

Council member Jay flagged a set of public comments on the embodied carbon appendix that were not reflected in the response spreadsheet. Staff said the council's work-session participants had collaboratively "massaged the language" after the public-comment period and agreed to add a separate docket line to capture those council-originated edits.

The motion's mover described it as accepting the public-comment summary for the IBC/IEBC with the addition of notation reflecting work on the embodied carbon appendix and directing staff to draft the CR103. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.

The council emphasized that the addition is intended to capture later council work (not to misrepresent the statutory public-comment response obligations) and asked staff to ensure the record reflects both the formal public comments and the subsequent work-session refinements.
