A quorum has been established and Chairman Frost called the meeting to order at 6:08 pm. Chairman Frost commented on the public comment session that was held on January 7th, 2004. We did not have enough members present to establish a quorum, but the members present allowed anyone in attendance to speak. The patrons that attended the meeting had no comment, but were in attendance to keep abreast of what was happening. Those in attendance were provided draft copies of the purposed amendments.
Approval of December 3rd. 2003 minutes
The minutes of the December 3rd. meeting were read. A motion to accept the minutes as read was made by Mike Howard. Russell Brickell seconded the motion, and the motion passed.
Mr. Burke acknowledged several letters received by the Examiners. Two letters were in regards to Mark Grinstead and Leith Winsor. The City, for their service and dedication to the Board, thanked each member. A letter of recommendation was also acknowledged for the appointment of Russell Brickell to fill the vacancy created by Mark Grinstead.
Members had received in their mailing the proposal for amendment change submitted by Adrian Jones of 2003 East 26th Street. He would like the word device stricken from the current amendment (210.52 (G). This would basically allow a door opener receptacle not to be trimmed out on a residential final. After some discussion and consideration of the proposal a motion was made by Larry Frost to have the amendment remain the same. Mike Howard seconded the motion, motion passed.
.
Chairman Frost mentioned he was aware of a meeting held in regards to the Plumbers disapproval of the International Codes that were being considered by the City of Lawrence. Some discussion ensued regarding the recent public comment meeting held at City Hall. Members felt some work would need to be done if the City adopted the IRC for use in residential construction. Chairman Frost commented that it was his understanding that the most stringent Code would take precedence over a less restrictive Code. Members felt it would be later in 2004 before anything would probably need to be considered.
With no further business to come before the Board a motion for adjournment was made by Chairman Frost. The Chairman will call the next meeting of the Electrical Examiners as the need arises. The motion was seconded by Pat Shepard and passed. Meeting adjourned at 6:25 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Phil Burke
Secretary
