Agenda Item Text:
Approve proposed amendment to the By-Laws of the Building Code Advisory and Appeals Board, to add term limits.
Background:
FROM: Beverly Wilson, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Docket R-14-02 (Amendment to By-Laws of the Building Code Advisory and Appeals Board, Adding Term Limits)
DATE: December 20, 2013, for the January 7, 2014, Board of Supervisors Meeting
I. NATURE OF REQUEST
Docket R-14-02 is a recommendation to amend the By-Laws of the Building Code Advisory and Appeals Board, to add term limits for each appointed member. The By-Laws were adopted as Ordinance 045-13, on the 25th of June, 2013 by the Board of Supervisors. The Term Limits were inadvertently omitted.
II: PROPOSED TERM LIMITS
Pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 11-861 and 11-862, the Cochise County Board of Supervisors established a Building Code Advisory and Appeals Board to perform the duties set forth in § 11-862 and to hear appeals from orders, decisions or determinations by the Building Official regarding the application and interpretation of the adopted building codes. Inadvertently, term limits were omitted from the By-Laws governing this Board. The By-Laws will be amended by adding Article 4, as follows:
ARTICLE 4 – TERMS OF MEMBERS
1. Terms: The terms of the members of the Board first appointed shall be two years for members designated in 1A (architect) and 1B (professional engineer), three years for members designated in 1.C (general contractor) and 1.D (A person representing the public and a resident of the county), and four years for members designated in 1.E (A person engaged in the electrical, mechanical, or plumbing trade), 1.F (a contractor with experience in green building) and 1.G (A representative from a Fire Department or with a specialized knowledge of fire codes). Thereafter, each term shall be four years. Vacancies in any term shall be filled only for the unexpired portion of the term.
III: RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the amendment to the By-Laws of the Building Code Advisory and Appeals Board, to add term limits as proposed.
