Seconded by Ms. Swiney. Motion CARRIED 6-0.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
1) Discussion of Proposed By-laws -
Chairman Howard opened up the
table for comments. Mr. Bosse made mention of one article that
conflicted with the Land Development Code. There being no other
comments, Mr. Bosse made a motion to approve the by-laws as amended.
Seconded by Mr. Tindall. 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.

another on the Interlocal Agreement and the UBC. Mr. Bosse made a
motion to forestall taking action until there are revisions on the
Interlocal Agreement. Seconded by Mr. Yarnell. Chairman Howard asked
for discussion. Ms. Swiney asked if the Board could go on record with
Council that the Board favors the concept and principle. Chairman Howard
said that could be a separate motion. Motion CARRIED 6-0.
Ms. Swiney moved that the Board advise Council that they are in agreement
in principle with the concept of the Unified/Uniform Building Code
and Interlocal agreement, but will not be making any formal action
until such time as the Interlocal Agreement has been re-visited again.
Seconded by Mr. Tindall. Chairman Howard asked for discussion. After
discussion, Motion CARRIED 5-1. Mr. Bosse voted no.
