Acting Mayor Frugoli opened the public hearing.
Public Works Director Bernardi stated that it was brought to staff's
attention that Ordinance No. 1517, adopted last November, contained
a number of errors which need to be corrected, the most important
of which is the deletion of necessary verbiage in the "Right of Entry"
wording required for conformance with State law in various sections,
and that other sections require renumbering.
There being no comments from the public, Acting Mayor Frugoli closed
the public hearing.
The title of the Ordinance was read:
"AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL CLARIFYING AND AMENDING ORDINANCE
1517 AMENDING TITLE 12 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL,

SWIMMING POOL, SPA, AND HOT TUB CODE', AND ALSO AMENDING CHAPTERS

13. CONSIDERATION OF ESTABLISHMENT OF PROFESSIONAL AD HOC BOARD OF REVIEW
FOR BUILDING AND FIRE CODE EXCEPTIONS (PW) - File 9-2-41 x 1-6-1 x
1-6-4
Public Works Director Bernardi requested that Council establish a
Professional Ad Hoc Board of Review for Building and Fire Code Excep-
tions. He noted that when the Fire Department and Public Works staff
review various projects, they normally rely on Code interpretations
made by the authors of the various Codes, but when grey areas arise,
staff would feel more confident with outside professional assistance.
He recommended that the Board be comprised of a Fire Protection Engi-
neer, Structural Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer
and an Architect who would all serve in a advisory capacity to Council
and City staff, and that there be no limit to the length of term to
serve because meetings would not take place on a regular basis, and
asked that the residency requirements be -waived.
After discussion, Councilmember Nave moved and Councilmember Russom
seconded, to approve staff's recommendation authorizing the City Clerk
to solicit applications from qualified professionals to serve on the
Ad Hoc Board of Review for Building and Fire Code Exceptions, and
that there be no length of term or San Rafael residency requirements.
A list of qualified professionals will be kept on file to be called
upon when needed.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
