Mr. Lorenzo Gonzalez, Building Official, explained to the Board that at the last regular meeting a discussion was held to reach a determination whether there was sufficient evidence to proceed with a hearing.

However, had the Board decided to proceed with a hearing, then at that time the Board could have requested that Mr. Schultz provide additional documents. Mr. Gonzalez added that the Ordinance does not require Mr. Schultz to provide any documentation and clarified that the issue is whether the Master of Record is satisfying the criteria of the Ordinance, or whether Mr. Rayburn has a personal grievance due to his dismissal from the other company.
