ETARY CiTY OF SEBASTIAN CONSTRUCTION BOARD MINUTES OF WORKSHOP MEETING JUNE 20, 2000 Chairman Cecrle called the meeting to order at 7:20 pm. The Pledge of Allegiance was dispensed with for this meeting. ROLL CALL: PRESENT: Chmn. Cecrle Andrew AIIocco Meredith Fox EXCUSED ABSENCE: VC Herbig, Michael Holdridge, Scott Taylor(a), Pierre Paquette(a) ABSENT: Louis Nicolini, Leonard Galbraith DlSCUSS!QN.; 1) Drafting of New Application Mr. AIIocco passed out copies of the State application form and commented that he would recommended using a form similar to this application. He cited credit problems and bankruptcies of companies that close down for one reason or another, then reopen under another name, and the difficulty in obtaining this credit information. There was discussion about using one standard form for all classifications of contractors, It was then suggested to establish different classifications for the requirements of 6xperience for the different types of contractors, which would make it a lot easier to scan an applicants' requirements, A cross-referencing "key" could be included for simplicity. The page for references was discussed, noting that signatures of persons certifying the experience must be notarized, anda line for this person's printed name, address and phone number included, since many signatures are illegible. This allows phone calls to be made if there is a questionable area about the experience. There was discussion on credit reports and methods of acquiring credit information by computer. St. Lucie County was noted as having this capability, and Kathy Nappi was asked to get more information on this issue. There was discussion on the wording in asking for criminal history pertaining to felony, and it was determined to insert the word "felony" before the word crime in item H. CONSTRUCTION BOARD MINUTES OF WORKSHOP MEETING OF JUNE 20, 2000 It was determined to change page 5 to page 4, and make pages 4 and 6 add-on sheets that make be used separately for certification of experience. It was also determined that when the new application form is finally developed and in use, it must be used, and putting required information on separate sheets of paper and used as attachments will no longer be accepted. As Mr. AIIocco has elaborate programs on his home computer, he has volunteered to re- vamp this application with the changes discussed here tonight, and bring it back to the next regular meeting for another review. The subject of fees was discussed, and it was suggested to create a table of fees showing the amount of experience required, the fee amount, and the category of the examination. Kathy would provide the list of categories, and it was suggested that she create a list of suggested fees for the Board to analyze. All of this information would be developed into a boxed chart and inserted on the first page for ease of use. There was discussion on status change. There was also discussion on some of the construction practices in the city, from pouring concrete driveways, to termite pre-treats. It was suggested to use a separate page for a change of status form, and have one price to cover it. It was suggested to follow State guidelines for the number of years of experience required for General Contractors. A different set of requirements is in place for Specialty and Sub-Contractors. Kathy will fax a list of Experior exams to Andrew AIIocco to create a list for the City of Sebastian. Some of those exams will not be required here. There was some discussion on the budget for the Building Department. There was a question about the inclusion of the statement about child support on the first page of the state application. It was determined that this issue will probably be determined by legal counsel when the draft of the new form is submitted. Kathy suggested making the fees different for "Master", "Journeyman", contractors, and specialties. She also noted that a "Master" may not pull a permit in Sebastian. The issue of eliminating "Master" and "Journeyman" was discussed and it was determined to discuss it at a regular meeting with a full Board present. There was also discussion about the need to change the code if a new application and new criteria are developed. This issue will be addressed at the proper time. Chmn. Cecrle adjourned the meeting at 9:00 pm. (6/28/00 A6)
