APPROVAL OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES—July 15, 2004
Correction to the minutes:
1. The approval or correction of minutes should have read April 15, 2004.
2. David Lewis, Electrical Team Leader, made reference to an error on page three of the
minutes. The first paragraph under agenda items should read:
An inspector's interpretation is that a clothes closet is not in a bedroom. If the switch is turned
in to face the inside of the clothes closet, then that particular outlet is not in the bedroom any
longer, and it would not have to be protected by arc fault.
'Corrections to the paragraph are italicized. •
A motion was made by Martin Adrian and seconded by Robert Conolly to accept the minutes
with necessary corrections. The motion carried.

QUESTIONS ASKED BY BOARD MEMBERS
Are we closer to seeing contractor's registered?
At the present time, the State is issuing contractor licenses and the City is recognizing those
licenses and registering Electrical Contractors based on those state issued licenses.
Are we allowing State Master's?
No, the State Electrical Contractor License holder's registration is the minimum requirement
to obtain permits.
Will we get CEU's for the Brown Bag Session?
Yes, we could if we get everyone registered. We could partner up with ABC and include the
IBEW. This partnership could result in Electricians acquiring the necessary CEU's.
