Building Codes Appeals Board Minutes of November 9, 2010 Page 2 of 2 6. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS None 7. BOARD COMMENTS Mark Follis asked Mrs. Wilmore if staff was aware of any conflicts that would arise in merging the use of the Uniform plumbing and mechanical codes with the International building code books. Mrs. Wilmore stated staff had not received the books yet but had met with a staff' member from the City of Pasadena. He advised that staff should be able to deal with the book conflicts. The biggest difference will be the required minimum plumbing fixtures - Uniform code requires more fixtures than the International code. Mrs. Wilmore advised that the Uniform group anticipates a training class sometime in January 2011- the date has not yet been set. Mr. Schlather asked if Board members could attend. Mrs. Wilmore felt it wouldn't be a problem as long as there is space in the classroom. She advised that the Uniform group plans on having more than one city in attendance. The class will be a one -day class and will repeat the next day so all staff members can attend. When more information is available, staff will update the board. 8. ESTABLISH NEXT MEETING DATE, TIME AND TOPICS No date set at this time. Topics will include administering the oaths of office to the re- appointed board member Terry Bunch. Mr. Larson would like to review the drinking fountain requirements in the Uniform plumbing code.
