Members absent: Mollenhoff. Moved by Jordan, seconded by Krizek that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes: Four. Absent: Murphy, Anders, Mollenhoff. Motion carried. The proposed Waterloo Mechanical Code was reviewed. The body of the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation code was written in the 1950s and revised several times over the past 50 years. Anders now present at 5:50 p.m. A complete rewrite of the existing code was necessary in order to step into the 21st Century and address the use of new materials that have been developed and tested by industry. The administration portion of the proposed mechanical code addresses the way the Building Department does business. It establishes the Board, consistent with the city's regulation of all boards and board members appointed by the Mayor. Murphy now present at 5:55 p.m. By reference, the 1997 edition of the Uniform Mechanical Code published by the International Conference of Building Officials is adopted. Developers coming into the city can design their project in a cost-effective manner with no undue burden because of a specific requirement by the city. The use of corrugated stainless steel on a limited basis has been added to the code. The Waterloo Mechanical Board has reviewed the proposed ordinance and participated in developing the new section on journeyman testing and licensing and new material application. The fee structure has been reviewed and approved by the Board. There is no increase in fees other than the fee for corrugated stainless steel tubing. The proposed code gives the Waterloo Mechanical Board authority to revoke a contractor's certificate of competency or mechanic li,V.A.C. license. It was suggested that the council be the hearing body for appeal. With no further business before the committee, it was moved by Krizek, seconded by Jordan that the meeting be adjourned at 6:06 p.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Mollenhoff. Motion carried.
