TITLE:

Consideration of Appointments:  Building & Fire Code Board of Appeals.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Make one appointment to a term expiring October 2016.
Make three appointments to a term expiring October 2017.

Policy Decision or Reason for Action:

By making the above appointments, the Building & Fire Code Board of Appeals will be near full membership.

There are four applications on file, they are as follows:
Kenneth Krenke (currently serving)
David Merrell
Mitchell Walzer
Gregory Hancock (currently serving)

Financial Impact:

These are voluntary positions and there is no budgetary impact to the City of Flagstaff.

Connection to Council Goal:

Effective governance.

Has There Been Previous Council Decision on This:

None.

Options and Alternatives

1) Appoint members to the Board of Appeals.  By appointing members at this time, the Building and Fire Code Board of Appeals will be only one member short of full membership which would allow the group to meet and provide recommendations to the City Council.

2) Table the action to allow time for further discussion or expand the list of candidates.



Background/History:

The Building & Fire Code Board of Appeals consists of five citizens serving five-year terms.  There are currently two vacancies on the Board. Additionally, the terms of the three current board members expired in October and two of these three would like to be reappointed.

The Building and Fire Code Board of Appeals holds hearings as needed on appeals related to the application and interpretation of City building and fire codes. The Board of Appeals has no authority to interpret the administrative provisions of the code, nor is the board empowered to waive requirements of the code.

Key Considerations:

It is important to fill the vacancies so as to allow this Board the ability to resume meeting.

Expanded Financial Considerations:

The City's boards, commissions, and committees were created to foster public participation and input and to encourage Flagstaff citizens to take an active role in city government.

Community Benefits and Considerations:

INFORM:   Board members and City staff have informed the community of this vacancy through word of mouth which is in addition to the posting of vacancies on the City's website.
