Mark Whitmill PDD-BPS <br />Mark Whitmill 5/12/2009 Pri 2 Yes IV.B Support <br />Comments:I recommend that we support SB 79A, but push for an amendment to add local government <br />representation on the Task Force. <br />Re: Section 1, the Task Force includes owners, lenders, designers, developers, builders and <br />trades, and other stakeholders but is noticeably lacking any representation on the regulatory <br />side. Local governments may have a piece of the administration or regulation of the <br />requirements, as well as many other interests, so municipal representation should be <br />included. <br />I like the concept of a Reach Code and don’t have any problems with the way Section 5 is <br />now written. It’s an optional code, so the Director is only required to consult with the <br />advisory boards, not necessarily get their approval. I think the original concept was that <br />today’s Reach Code would be tomorrow’s code, and that’s not necessarily the case now. In <br />each code cycle the Director and advisory boards will look at the Reach Code and decide <br />which parts should be incorporated into the building code. It would add a bit more <br />complexity to plan review and inspection as we would have to learn and apply another <br />code, but could be done. <br />I think that though it makes the process more cumbersome (gotta love democracy) I think <br />it’s important that the Director obtain the approval of the applicable boards before adopting <br />energy code amendments. I don’t have a problem with Section 9. <br />ContactRespondent Dept Updated Priority Policy Policy No Recommendation <br />PDD-BPS <br />Ethan Nelson 5/14/2009 Pri 2 Yes IV.B Support <br />Comments:Mark and I read these revisions the same way.
