Members absent: Collier. Moved by Jordan, seconded by Murphy that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Six. Absent: Collier. Motion carried. Lou Cutwright, Building Official, reviewed the revisions to the Contractor Licensing Ordinance. Mr. Cutwright stated that the Waterloo Building Trades Association expressed concern of some of the wording in the ordinance. Mr. Cutwright reported that he worked with the association's legal counsel on a few changes that clarified gray areas in the document. A recommended change to the General Contractor's Board of Licensing and Examiners was discussed to increase the board members from five to nine members. This increase will provide for a broad base for representation of other trades on the board. Mr. Cutwright reported that there has been good response from contractors to the requirement of residential contractors to be licensed in the city. They have received approximately 300 applications that will be reviewed by the General Contractors Board. Mr. Cutwright reported that he mailed out 750 letters to the contractors notifying them of the licensing requirement. Mr. Cutwright reported that the grandfather clause ended on Friday. The grandfather clause allowed contractors who have a current valid state registration number issued by the State Department of Labor to be exempt from taking the written examination for contractor licensing. Mr. Cutwright stated that the testing for licensing will be conducted by Black & Associates and International Conference of Building Association. There will be six testing dates between January 1, 1999 and May 1, 1999. Ron Leibold, representing the Building Trade Association, reviewed several sections that he felt needed clarification. Moved by Getty, seconded by Jordan that the revisions to the ordinance be approved and placed on the council agenda. Ayes: Six. Absent: Collier. Motion carried. With no further business before the council, it was moved by Jordan, seconded by Getty that the meeting be adjourned at 5:25 p.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Collier. Motion carried. Nancy Eckert City Clerk
