Building Code Board of Appeals <br />Minutes <br />5.18.23 <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />Berry added that the failure is that the board was not able to get any of their <br />comments regarding the 2021 IECC Energy Code adopted and that none of their <br />suggestions were used. <br />Berry read the next question: How is your process to develop your annual work <br />plan and how does it align with Council's work plan? <br />Berry — we are don't have a work plan since the board is on an as -needed basis. <br />Geise added that most of what the board has to present are new code issues <br />that arise as well as new code adoption to keep the City code current for <br />insurance purposes. <br />Dino commented that the board's work plan is fluid and their agenda is based on <br />the considerations of City Council regarding code adoption. <br />Dewitz added that the board should be seen as an asset to the City and City <br />Council even if City Council does not use their suggestions. <br />Berry summed up by stating that the BCBOA is on an as needed basis and the <br />agenda changes <br />Gatto asked the question that are there situations where City Council has to <br />consider the board's suggestions. <br />Berry answered that the only way that City Council would be forced to consider <br />suggestions would be to have the topic added as an item to the agenda for a City <br />Council meeting.

If there is technical legislature then City <br />Council should be required to utilize the BCBOA for suggestions and input. <br />Geise commented that if Council brought in a third party that was used to getting <br />energy code passed and took up most of the meeting time for the residential <br />2021 IECC that there was no time for the BCBOA to participate. Geise further <br />commented that he is in favor of the new energy code and moving forward with <br />7 <br />
