Building Code Advisory Board

The Building Code Advisory Board handles appeals of written rulings or administrative decisions of the Building and Code Director or Fire Chief.  The Board may also determine suitable alternate methods and materials, and may be asked to provide reasonable interpretations of the provisions of the adopted building and fire codes. However, the Board does not have the authority to grant deviations or exceptions to the City’s Building or Fire Codes, or to recommend a decrease in public safety or fire-resistive standards as set forth in the Code.

Membership consists of five individuals.  Members must be qualified by experience and training pertaining to building construction and represent the following trades: engineering, architecture, building construction and design.

Meetings are generally held under the following guidelines:

• on the 2nd Wednesday of each month;
• on Wednesdays from 10 to 15 days after an appeal is filed;
• or when there is other business to discuss.
