Committee recommends renaming building-code appeals board to cover fire code; no new authority added

The Rules and Legislative Committee reviewed a proposed resolution that would change the name and scope of the existing board that hears code appeals so it covers both building and fire codes. Committee members were told the board already exists (established February 2007) and performs appeals and advisory roles for the county’s adopted codes; the proposed amendment updates the board’s title and scope to comply with fire-code requirements.
