March 31, 2016
The Green Building, Performance, and Swimming Pool & Spa codes were deferred.
It was recommended that these codes be reviewed after the main codes are finished
with their review.
i. Randy Allen moved and Jim Crabtree seconded to defer the Green Building
Code until later. Motion passed.

Code until later. Motion passed.

4. New Business
a. Discussion was held about the physical form of the code. This was generated by the
Residential committee members desire to have a soft bound version of the code.
Fortunately, HBA gave a grant to cover the cost to buy 7 versions of the code and
commentary. The City, however, is not in a financial position to buy code books for
all the sub-committees. The City can provide a PDF version and/or 3 ring binders of
the various codes. It was decided that each sub-committee would decide the
physical version of the code they would like to review.
b. Discussion was held on how each code book tells in Chapter One how the code
should be administered. After discussion Paulette Kreter moved and Jim Crabtree
seconded that the Steering Committee take the lead on this portion of the code.
Motion passed.
c. With the discussion of administrative review, other related topics were discussed
including:
i. Staffing requirements the City would need to have for code enforcement.
ii. Policies and procedures for Building Regulations.
iii. The possibility of public meetings to review the building codes.
iv. Sub-committee reports would primarily be the minutes of the meetings.
5. Public Comment
No public comments were made.
6. Next Meeting Date
The next meeting date will be April 28, 2016. It was decided that the 4th Thursday of the month
from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm would be the standing meeting time.
7. Adjourn
The meeting adjourned at 9:50 a.m.
