7. BOARD COMMENTS ON MATTERS APPEARING ON AGENDA OR INQUIRY OF
STAFF REGARDING SPECIFIC FACTUAL INFORMATION OF EXISTING
POLICY
Chairman Campbell requested clarification from Clark Askins about the City's local
requirement for a certificate of insurance from contractors when the state is already requiring
a certificate. Mr. Askins confirmed cities can have their own requirement even though the
state may have their requirement in place.
Chairman Campbell suggested the Board meet next month to discuss the Uniform Plumbing
Code. He was not sure the recent plumbing code change was necessary. The Board could
bring in another speaker to help the Board and staff better understand the code. Mr. Holt and
Mark Follis disagreed. Both felt the public input, Board review and subsequent City Council
decision was adequate. No action was taken.
