Chairman Miller informed the Board that he had recently met with the
Chairpersons of the Building Code Board of Appeals and the Electrical Advisory
Board to discuss the administrative fee applicable for not obtaining a permit and
the 24 hour grace period.
Mr. Gonzalez explained that once the Code adoption process is complete this
subject would be coming up for discussion at the individual Boards in order to
develop a consensus and recommendation among the Boards. Mr. Gonzalez stated
that he had advised the Chairpersons to address the subject within each
individual industry, rather than jointly, due to the differences in registration
and licensing.
Chairman Miller clarified that as soon as the Codes are updated the Board
should address and propose a revision to the Ordinance that allows the 24 hour
grace period.
Chairman Miller suggested that the Board review the sections of the
Plumbing Code regarding specific criteria versus field application and asked that
a discussion item be placed on next months agenda.
The meeting was adjourned at 3: 17 p.m.
