Please detail your experience to us:*
I am reapplying. I finished out the term for a previous member this last year.
What is the true intent of the series of I-Codes that are adopted by the Town of Vail?*
The first purpose of course is life safety. Then to provide a minimum standard of detailing for construction methods & the latest environmental
issues.
Do you feel that you can render fair and impartial decisions on appeals brought forth to the Board?*
Yes... I do not live in the town of Vail & I do not have an agenda. I have operated a private architecture practice in Eagle County since 1989. And
have lived here since 1979. During that 10-year period I worked in the construction industry as carpenter on a variety of projects in the Vail area.
Availability
The BFCAB meets on the 2nd Thursday of every month, as needed.
Attendance is critical as it provides for broad representation on matters before the board.
Please describe your availability to attend the meetings and identify any conflicts of interest that may arise due to your
employment, personal and/or professional relationships or financial interests in the Town of Vail.*
My attendance record for the past year shows this ability.
