Building Code Board of Appeals Meeting Minutes April 19, 2018 Page 2of2 2018 ICC Code Adoption Root states that he is collecting the amendments needed to present to the board for approval at the next board meeting in order to continue the process of adopting the 2018 building code this year. There are very few amendments being considered for existing buildings but the main ones are related to the 2018 IRC and 2018 IBC. Root also mentions the energy conservation code and discusses with the board the drawbacks of fully adopting the 2018 energy code without any amendments. He states that the energy code is very stringent and that the board should review the code in case any amendments should be made. City Licensed Contractors — Process of Revoking a License Root informs the board that the department has received a complaint from a homeowner about a city licensed general contractor who was hired to complete a permitted job. The homeowner was displeased with the general contractor and proposed to staff to revoke the contractor's license so the individual can no longer work within the city for a period of time. The city attorney informs the board that because the board has not adopted its own procedure of revoking a contractor license, the board is advised to not discuss the subject until staff has developed such a process. The board agreed that this should be tabled for the next board meeting once staff has developed a structured process and had it reviewed by the city attorney. Tribelhorn moved and Berry seconded a motion to continue the discussion of revoking a license at the next board meeting so Staff can draft a procedure for this process. Voice vote. Motion passed 5-0. Open Government Training with City Attorney The city attorney concluded the agenda with open government training. The city attorney discussed the roles of the Building Code Board of Appeals, what quasi- judicial hearings are and why the process matters, and the ethics behind participating on a board. Staff Comments: None heard. Discussion Items for Next Meeting: None heard. Adjourn: Novik moved and Tribelhorn seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed unanimously by voice vote. The meeting was adjourned at 8:27 PM.
