Motion CARRIED 6-0. 2) & 3) Review of Unified Building Code and Interlocal Agreement Chairman Howard asked if everyone had a chance to review the UBC and Interlocal Agreement, then opened for comments. Mr. Dunn handed out an updated survey showing the status of other cities standings on the two items. He then brought the Board up-to-date with the Interlocal Agreement, addressing the fact that some cities have wording problems. Mr. Karet elaborated on what Mr. Dunn had just discussed. The Board discussed how the Interlocal Agreement would affect cities making amendments to codes that may not pertain to every city, and how it would affect appeals. Mr. Bosse said he wasn't ready to endorse either one yet. Mr. Dunn stressed that the community was really looking to get the UBC adopted and then the Interlocal Agreement could be hashed out again before it is adopted. Ms. Swiney said she thought it was a great idea, however she also has problems with the Interlocal Agreement. There was concern that if adopted power would be taken away from the Board. Mr. Bosse and Chief Vola explained the Fire Code issue.
