The appointments from now on will be for 3 year terms. <br /> Greg Cullison-I would like to recommend that all the members are provided with the most <br /> current versions of the code books. <br /> No formal action was taken, though Tom Talboom stated it was the City's intent to provide code <br /> books and he would further investigate the matter He also stated the City will either provide a <br /> code book or make sure that all applicable sections of the codes are copied. <br /> Q Do we also cover fire codes? <br /> A. No <br /> Q What is are legal liability on an individual basis? <br /> A. Sam Light- Generally you will have immunity I will expand on that at the next training <br /> session.

The rules and procedures have built in the ability to do a site review prior to the hearing. <br /> The board then would be able to take into consideration what they saw on site. <br /> Q Can more than two board members meet at the site at the same time? <br /> A. Generally the building staff would set up a date when anyone on the board who wanted to <br /> go and view would do so, without input on the merits of the issue, by either the building <br /> official or the applicant. It is an opportunity for the board to view the issue at hand, not <br /> to discuss the merits, or to take testimony, with regard to the appeal. <br /> Sam Light- The way we have set up the rules and procedures the board would make a final <br /> disposition of an appeal in the form of a motion. That would be followed by a written notice of <br /> 4 <br />
