The proposed changes include an update to the address of the Board of Appeals, updates t o the mission statement and listed priorities to include a ppeals brought forth by the Code Official as a result of the “Unsafe Structures” amendment approved on June 4th, and revisions to address inconsistencies in regard to Officer positions, membership, and mandatory meetings. DISCUSSION: The Board of County Commissioners has the a uthority to approve amendments to the bylaws of boards and commissions pursuant to PR-22. As a r esult of the amendments to the IEBC approved on June 4 th, there is an anticipated increase in appeals that the Board of Appeals will need to meet and decide upon. The County is accepting applications for the Board of Appeals vacancies; thus it would be most efficient to have u pdated bylaws ready for the Board of Appeals. The most substantive change is clarifying that the Board of Appeals’ a uthority to hear appeals includes those brought forth by the Code Official o n behalf of the property owners whose properties are deemed unsafe, in accordance with the local a mendments of Section 115 of the IEBC approved on June 4 th. The revisions also clarify the Code Official’s role with the Board of Appeals and expands the industries represented by its members.
