If the Bylaw is adopted, this will give the board direction on what action to bring forward to the contractor. Knapp moved and Geise seconded a motion to adopt Article VIII and VIX By laws with removal of parenthesis (section 12) and removal of article 9 sec 5B. Voice vote. Motion passed 5-0. Staff Comments: Root informs the board that he reached out to North Metro Home Builders Association regarding a State Legislature Plumbing Bill and the way the city performs inspections. Root would need a Master or Journeyman Plumber on staff for inspections, which would result in adding one inspector and getting rid of another. He also discusses it could put plumbing inspections out 30 days in rural area as the state has 30 days to perform a re -inspection. The city is against the bill. Berry clarifies that the city would require a master plumber to perform plumbing work. Root explains there are to be three journeymen to one master plumber. The trade-off is to ask municipalities to card plumbers on permitted projects. The proposed bill does not recognize ICC certifications, which three of Louisville's inspectors have. Root also comments upon adopting Article VIII By-laws to revoking contractor's license. He states that we may have three or four residents coming forward with contractor's that violated working without being a Louisville licensed contractor or contractor walking out on the job. Root will possibly be bringing forward a roofing contractor that has been installing roofs without permits and performing faulty installation at the next meeting. Geise commented on no more discussion on the subject until an affidavit is presented. Board Comments: None Discussion Items for Next Meeting: Root states that the next meeting will be April 18, 2019.
