The ordinance became effective fourteen (14) days after its passage and approval or May 21,2004. The intent of the ordinance was to create a seven (7) member board to hear and decide appeals from the determination ofa building official and to conduct comprehensive reviews of the city's codes. Since there were a limited number of council members at that time, a decision was made to wait on making the appointments until a later date. In our review since its passage, staff notes that in the preparation of the ordinance, Section 3 addresses violations relating to the zoning ordinance. Staffbe1ieves this section needs to be revised. This item was originally placed on the October 25, 2004 agenda; however, it was tabled with no action. At this time we are returning to Council to ask for direction or other issues concerning the wording of the ordinance, appointment of board members for the Building Code Appeals Board created by existing Ordinance #04-2733 and/or direction regarding possible changes to Section 3 of the existing ordinance. Action Reauired bv Council: Guidance on possible revisions to the ordinance and/or appointments of members to the Building Codes Appeal B~ . Aooroved for City Council Ae:enda ~~ If~;2-o~ Date
