I hope everyone has had a great August! I am excited about this new ASPE year! We have a lot of new goals and updates to the chapter that we are working on, so be on the lookout for some cool stuff. We are excited to announce that Angie Mendica has taken the reigns of the ASPE Young Pro-fessional Liaison for the chapter.

VP Legislative Report By Paul Hellickson

September 2019 Hello Chapter members – I hope everyone has had a great summer and were able to spend time with loved ones. We haven’t seen each other since the Golf outing and just wanted to say that it was so great to see so many of you at the Annual ASPE Golf Tournament at The Bluffs. The weather was great and the food was even better. A spe-cial thanks to all of you that were hole sponsors or sponsored golfers, drinks, prizes and so much more. The suc-cess of this event is directly related to your generosity and it is really appreciated. Hope to see you again next year. CODE CHANGES On June 5

th, 2019 St. Louis County adopted the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code with the local amendments, they will

become effective on October 1st, 2019.

For more information on effective dates and the permitting process go here: "Notice to Industry" Amendments to the 2015 UPC go here: St. Louis County Amendments As a reminder if you have any code related information that you think would be helpful to our chapter I would really appreciate you getting that to me. Did a code official require something on one of your projects that you might not have seen in the code before? Or did the AHJ interpret something in the code or amendments that you might have interpreted differently? This would all be helpful information and would help all of our chapter members to provide a better quality project. That’s all I have for now, have a great summer. Paul Hellickson

VP Technical Report By John Fischer

September 2019

Summer is almost over, a wet one at that, and time to remind ourselves to make time and arrangements to attend the ASPE lunch meetings normally held the first Tuesday of the month at the Engineers Club lo-cated on Lindell Blvd,. 1 block East of the New Cathedral. Our presenter this month (September) will be Keith Whitworth, a sales engineer with McClain and Asso-ciates. His subject will be Radiant Heat for Heating and Snow & Ice Melting. I think the subject matter is applicable to more uses than the title indicates. Feel free to ask Keith questions about all things radiant and snowmelt and get honest answers. Enjoy the presentation and learn things you may not have known—or even thought about!

If the balky printer can become operational, I hope to have Continuing Education Certificates available by the end of the meeting. So please look for the table they will be displayed and take yours with you. I am open to suggestions for speaker and topics for the this year and next year, September through De-cember are scheduled. Respectfully submitted:
