1. Review and approval of the October 10, 2013 meeting minutes
Rollie made the motion to accept the minutes. Kathy seconded
2. Handrail terminations. Interpretation of termination of the rail
Discussion and recommendations
Martin Haeberle and JR Mondragon presented related code issues in regards to termination of handrails. Discussion incurred to determine what would be acceptable and met the intent of
the code. The consensus was that the handrail will terminate with not less than 270 degrees of radius. This would meet the intent of the code for catching of clothing etc.
3. Class A wood shakes shingles. Review and Discussion
Martin Haeberle presented information that wood shake shingles have Class A rating and indicated that the board should re- look at accepting them as part of the 2015 code adoption. This
would give plenty of time to research the most recent data available to determine if the study from the 1980’s was still applicable. Chief McGee informed the board that he and another
did the original research and gave a history of why the fire treated wood shack shingle was not allowed in Vail. He also stated that he will review existing data and report back to the
board his findings.
Martin explained that without current data to support not allowing a product that has been found to be approved by the building code would place the town in a precarious situation. He
also indicated that allowing it in the building code would not constitute an approval of its use due to restrictions placed on the product in the zoning regulations.
4. Spring Construction Kick-off April 2, 2014. Topics to be discussed. Review and discussion
This years Spring construction Kick-off shall take place at Donovan’s Pavilion. Several items of discussion that will be especially pertinent to construction activity this year shall

5. Changing time and date of Breakfast meeting due to lack of attendance. Requesting recommendations
