<br />Building Codes Ad Hoc Committee <br />Minutes of November 12, 2003 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The Chairman also asked for items to be placed on next week's agenda. Tom <br />Campbell made the motion for Debbie Wilmore and one (1) other staff member to <br />attend next week's meeting and give their opinions on the codes. Ed Yung <br />seconded the motion. Nick Finan advised the committee that staffs opinion on <br />the code had already been provided to City Council and the Committee was later <br />created to review this matter. Council's wishes were that staffs role would be <br />minimal so the Committee's outcome would not be influenced by staff. <br /> <br />Various Committee members indicated that there had been conflicting <br />information presented by the code groups and since staff worked with the codes, <br />they felt staff could provide some clarification. Chairman White asked that the <br />original motion be amended to read that Debbie Wilmore and one (1) staff <br />member attend next week's meeting for a question and answer session. They <br />would be available to the committee as a resource witness. Tom Campbell agreed <br />to amend his motion accordingly and Tommy Moser seconded the motion. <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />There was discussion among the members on how the actual reviewing of the <br />codes should be done. A suggestion was made to break into groups or small <br />committees in order to review the various code books. The expertise of the <br />various committee members, in their respective fields, would be utilized. Those <br />groups would then return to the full Committee and discuss their findings. <br /> <br />Nick reminded the Committee about the "Open Meeting" rules and 6 members <br />getting together from an 11 member committee would be considered a quorum <br />and would violate the "Open Meeting" rules. Nick agreed to check with the city <br />attorney concerning breaking up into small groups or subcommittees and get back <br />with the Committee. Also, the Committee was advised that Nick would not be <br />able to attend next week's meeting but he would provide a memo concerning the <br />information they requested. <br /> <br />Mike Clausen made the motion for next week's agenda to include discussing the <br />process and procedures of reviewing the codes. <br /> <br />Motion to adjourn at 10:00 P. M. was made by Tom Campbell. Second by Tom <br />Stringer. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Submitted by, <br /> <br />
