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.
Also, to provide more Board experience, Mr. Schlather would like the Board to select a new
chairperson which would also determine the new acting chairperson. Mr. Follis would like to
include any code items (if applicable) that staff determines needs to be discussed once the
codes are actually implemented.
9. ADJOURN
A motion to adjourn was made by Mr. Schlather with a second by Mr. Jackson. Motion
passed unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
