COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER:
FROM: Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Tom Baasch, Chief Building Official
SUBJECT: Advisory Body Appointments to the Board of Appeals i
and the Appeals Board for Handicapped Access
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By motion, reappoint Randy Dettmer to the Board of Appeals for a
four-year term ending March 30, 1996, and appoint Bryan J. Gingg
to the Appeals Board for Handicapped Access for a four-year term
ending March 30, 1996.
DISCUSSION:
The 1988 Edition of the Uniform Administrative Code (UAC) as
adopted by the City establishes
■ the Board of Appeals, which is created "to hear and
decide appeals, orders, decisions or determinations made
by the Building Official relative to the application of
the technical codes" ; and
■ the Appeals Board for Handicapped Access, which serves
as the "local appeals board" specified in Section 19957 . 5
of the California Health and Safety Code relating to
alternative accommodations for the physically
handicapped.
Section 204 (a) of the UAC requires that the five members of the
Board of Appeals be "qualified by experience and training to pass
upon matters pertaining to building construction and building
service equipment and who are not employees of the jurisdiction. "
Randy Dettmer, whose original appointment to the Board will expire
on March 31, 1992, is recommended for reappointment. He is a
licensed architect and a licensed contractor.
Section 204 (b) of the UAC establishes membership of the Appeals
Board for Handicapped Access to be the five members of the Board
of Appeals and two members who are physically handicapped as
defined in Section 417 (m) of the California Building Code. A
vacancy on the Board will occur on March 31, 1992 with the
expiration of Bill Bailey's term; he is not interested in
reappointment. The recommended appointment of Bryan Gingg is
consistent with the State definition and will be particularly
helpful to the Board in rendering decisions relative to wheelchair
accessibility.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the appointments will have no fiscal impact. f
