REPORTS.
Reports provided for informational purposes and made a part of the proceedings.
• Courtyard Shop Update - Chief Building Official Birchfield updated the Committee
on the status of the sprinkler and alarm system installation at the Courtyard Shops.
An extension was granted in the Fall of 2013 due to the flood and inability to obtain
an excavation contractor. No progress has been made since the extension was
granted. Staff would initiate legal action against the property owner in the form of a
Notice of Violation and Order to Abate. The violation would be code specific and the
abatement would be time and action specific. The owner would be informed of the
right to appeal. If noncompliance occurs, the case would be referred to Municipal
Court. Staff would meet with Attorney White to ensure due process is followed.
• Verbal Updates and Committee Questions - Chair Ericson requested an update on
the Comprehensive Plan, an overview of how changes are made to the
Development Code, and inquired about the safety of the Elkhorn Lodge structures.
Director Chilcott stated code compliance would be resumed by Code Enforcement
Officer Reichardt and staff would begin work on the Comprehensive Plan within a
month; described various code amendment processes exist based on the type of
amendment and stated a written policy would be helpful to ensure staff followed
proper procedure; and indicated complaints have been received regarding the
electrical system at the Elkhorn Lodge, but without adoption of the Dangerous
Building Code staff has limited authority to enforce safety in existing buildings. Chief
Building Official Birchfield stated staff recommends the adoption of the newest
International Building Codes which would allow the Building Official to enter existing
buildings when there is reason to believe safety issues exist. Trustee Phipps
requested an update on the status of Fall River Village. Administrator Lancaster
stated a company has been hired to remediate and sell the property.
There being no further business. Chair Ericson adjourned the meeting at 9:29 a.m.
