Building Code Board of Appeals Meeting Minutes (DATE) Page 2 of 2 if, for example, a roofer gets a license revoked with a roof incomplete or a large excavation left open, possibly allow the contractor to complete the projector projects they started. Root continued to suggest allowing the contractor to complete the work permitted before revocation. Novik suggested redefining suspension -then the by laws require modification, not the ordinance. Novik noted the path of least resistance is to redefine suspension, and would be much more expedient. Novik suggested the contractor finishing any open jobs under very strict supervision and no other permits allowed. Giese reiterated. Berry recommended that decision be at the discretion of the CBO for safety purposes. Berry stated the roofing work was a phenomenon, under a general contractor the homeowner needs to deal their contractor, the BCBOA is not a Consumer Reports Agency. The bylaws need to state clearly that when a license is revoked the BCBOA has authority to suspend a license while permitting the work in progress to be complete to an extent, being it is safe. Berry gave a brief history of Louisville's contractor licensing. Discussion Items: Staff Comments: Root stated that reroofs have slowed down and the city will no longer be doing Saturday inspections after June 151t'. The city has been doing Saturday inspections for almost a year. The city's fulltime mid roof inspector's last day will also be done on the 15th. Our temp admin will be done on July 31st. Root commented that Lafayette has an affidavit for mid roof inspections, Broomfield may do the same. Loveland has an affidavit as well. None of these cities get on the roof for finals due to CIRSA insurance restrictions. Root made clear, using a map, that when a contractor gets a license suspended there are many municipalities around that the contractor can go to. BCBOA will not put a contractor out of business. The BCBOA needs to think about the resident first. Discussion Items for Next Meeting: Suggested amended language for the Bylaws Adjourn: Giese moved and Novik seconded a motion to adjoum the meeting. Motion passed unanimously by voice vote. The meeting was adjoumed at 7:30 PM.
