President’s Report:
President Traey Lambertz reported on the progress of HB938 regarding a statewide building code. The bill has a sponsor and co-sponsor. It is unlikely this bill will pass this time, but the goal is to at least get it to committee and get a hearing on the matter. There is one change pending; in the fire district section of the bill, the word ‘shall’ will be changed to ‘may.’ A Secretary most likely will be needed to handle some of the additional paperwork. There has been some discussion to remove the construction manager. Jurisdictions will receive notice. There will be no change to cities that already have a code in place. If any member has any questions, they are encouraged to call Traey.
Old Business:
There are no issues with the hotel except the lack of Wi-Fi access.
New Business:
President Traey Lambertz announced the appointment of Ron Pleus, Brett Penrose, and Tony Becker to the Scholarship Committee.
