Bobby Teague called the meeting to order at 10:00 am.
The First order of business was to elect the Chairman of the Board and Vice
Chairman. Charles Barr nominated Chuck Dennis. Garland Martin nominated
Jackie Lebow, Jr. Secret ballot was held Jackie Lebow Jr. was voted Chairman
and Chuck. Dennis was voted Vice Chairman.
The meeting opened with Chairman Lebow stating that the reason for the
meeting today was to review the 2000 International Mechanical, Gas, Plumbing
and Fire Codes for adoption by City Council.
David Collins started by going over the Fire Code. He stated that we are
currently using the 1994 Standard Fire Code. This code is very similar to the
2000 International Fire Code. There was a concern about Knox Boxes. Mr.
Collins wanted it verified that the boxes would not need to be on Residential. It
would need to be on Commercial Buildings only.
Chuck Dennis made the motion to table this until it could be reviewed further and
some of the Committee members are present to present their views.
Everyone was in favor of tabling this until the next meeting.
Bobby Teague stated that a committee that included Leo Lane, John Ferguson
and Brian Walser reviewed the 2000 International Mechanical, Gas, and
Plumbing Codes
Chairman Lebow appointed a committee to review the Fire Code to see what
changes needed to be made. The Committee consists of Chuck Dennis, Leo
Lane, Harris Pink and Chairman Lebow.
Chairman Lebow also suggested that all board members have a current roster of
Board members and term limits.
Even though the board voted to table voting on the changes, Jerry Gamble
presented the staff proposal on text changes for the 2000 International
Mechanical, Gas, and Plumbing Codes to save time in the next meeting. The
Board will vote on these changes when the new committee presents the
proposed changes to the Fire Code. Jerry Gamble stated that the staff has been
using these Codes as reference for the last year and half. Proposed changes
from the staff are attached hereto.
The Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals will meet again after the
new committee reviews the Fire Code to review the final drafts of the 2000
International Mechanical, Gas, Plumbing and Fire Codes.
Bobby Teague had one other issue: Dangerous Structure Chapter 22 Section
603-Standard for Repair, Section 4. If we tag a structure as dangerous, it states
now that the debris from demolition can be taken free of charge to the City
landfill. We propose to change this to read: All debris resulting from demolition
shall be disposed of at a Certified Landfill.
Motion to accept this was made by Leo Lane and seconded by Charles Barr.
The motion was approved with a unanimous vote in favor.
Harris Pink brought up the problems of Roofing Contractors being on probation
or having their license suspended is still using the same name and pulling
permits but under another Contractors license. It was suggested that the
wording to the ordinance be changed so that if their license is revoked they
cannot work as a Contractor or a Sub-Contractor.
Chairman Lebow suggested having the City Attorney change the wording on the
ordinance.
There was no other Business.
Chairman Lebow adjourned the meeting at 11 :45 AM.
Jackie Lebow, Jr. Chairman
