SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
In recent meetings, Council has been considering the best construction codes for the city. To assist Council with
infonnation on the "pros and cons" of the various codes, an Ad Hoc Code Recommendation Committee ordinance
was approved at the September 22,2003 meeting. With the passage of the original ordinance #2003-2664, staffwas
provided with nine (9) committee appointments.
On October 13, 2003, Council approved Ordinance #2003-2664A and staff received two (2) additional
appointments. However, as noted in the attached memo, one (I) of the appointments has noted a conflict and will be
unable to selVe on the committee. This means ten (10) of the possible thirteen (13) positions have been filled to
date. One (I) vacant position in each of the following categories remains: architect, hvac and master electrician.
If Council desires, a list of city licensed master electricians can be provided for their convenience. The list includes
over 200 names. A city list does not exist on state licensed architects and hvac contIactors. AJso, the Assistant Fire
Chief is aware of an architect who lives in La Porte and has provided staff with his name. The name provided was
Hurdis Rhodes, but staff is not familiar with the individual.
For your convenience, we have attached Ordinance #2003-2664B and stafrs appointment memo that identifies the
cunent appointments and which Council member made the appointment
Action Required bv Council:
Consider appointment of additional committee members and approval of the Ad Hoc Code Recommendation
Committee Ordinance.
