Recommendation to town council on approval of the deleting Chapter 4-7
of the town municipal code
Martin Haeberle proposed to the board a request to recommend to council deletion of Chapter 4-7 of the town code related to contractors registration by the
Community Development Department. This is due to the cost of administering the registration program, staffing requirements and legal liability to the town. Martin asked for a recommendation
to council to delete this section of the Town Code. Mike McGee, Deputy Fire Chief opposed this recommendation
Mike McGee recommended to the board, with support of the police department,
to remove only the qualifying portions of the code and leave he remainder to allow tracking of the contractors and their insurance. This change was presented to the board along with
cleanup of some language within the code.
Martin explained that the tracking of the contractors will be done without the ordinance and that the insurance does not serve a purpose other
than checking to see if the contractor has insurance to protect himself on the job.
Mike informed the board that he will speak with Matt Mire the Town attorney on the matter and will
come back with a revision to the ordinance at the next board meeting.
Martin recommended that the town attorney be at the next meeting. The board wanted to see what Mike’s recommendation
is prior to having the town attorney at the meeting
.
Recommendation to proceed on implementation of the proposed general building permit.
Martin presented to the board the proposal of going to a general permit. He further explained a
steering committee has been developed to help staff members recognize the positive and negative impacts this might have on the industry. The steering committee is in full support of
going to a general permit. They will be meeting one more time to review with staff submittal requirements for the new process.
Motion made by Steve Loftus to recommend going forward
with the process and seconded by Rollie Kjesbo. Board approved unanimously.
