APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Minutes for February 19, 1992 and March 18, 1992
Special Meetings were submitted for approval. Mr. Ogram moved the Minutes be
approved as submitted. Mr. Butt seconded. Motion CARRIED 6 -0.
NEW BUSINESS: Chairman Howard stated the next item on the agenda was the
Deemed to Comply Manual Appendix D. Chief Vola stated Section 103 of the Building
Code allows the Building Official to accept alternative methods and materials for
construction. He stated the County uses Appendix D as its version of Deemed to
Comply. He added the Deemed to Comply Manual is excellent, but this appendix is a lot
easier to comply with. Mr. Nelson explained what the County was looking for on the job
site to assure compliance. Chief Vola stated the Department of Community Affairs with
SBCCI, FEMA and a couple of other entities, is putting together a Hurricane Resistant
Construction Code. He stated if it went through, it was so complicated, it might put a lot
of residential contractors out of business. Chairman Howard made it clear what Chief
Vola was proposing was to use the Appendix as a compliment to the Deemed to Comply
Manual, not to replace it. Mr. Butt moved to accept the County Ordinance 90 -14 as
presented. Mr. Yarnell seconded. Motion CARRIED 7 -0.
There was discussion regarding Ordinance 92 -0 -09 which addresses Board absences.
Chairman Howard reminded everyone to send in their financial disclosure forms to
Kathryn Odam.
Chairman Howard stated the changes in Handyman/Home Improvement Occupational
Licenses that the Board had discussed at the previous meetings went through Council
with no problems and has become Ordinance 92 -0 -10.
There being no more business to come before the Board at this time, Mr. Butt moved to
adjourn. All members were in agreement. Meeting adjourned at 5:49 P.M.
