with the CALBO Board meeting) and the entire membership present voted

his effort was.

Review/CRDC:
Larry Leonard reported that those attending last week’s meeting made
progress toward standardizing a format for emailing code questions.
They also discussed R3 conversion to B occupancies and accompanying
requirements. The committee will be contacting other jurisdictions regarding
their practices and make them available to the membership.
Finally, the issue of auditoriums and exiting was discussed. Research
with the State Fire Marshal’s office will follow.

Wednesday of the month so the next meeting is August 27th at noon for Plan Review and 2:30 for CRDC in Roseville. Following
this schedule, the September meeting will be on the 24th.
Larry and Kevin will both attend the ICC code hearings in Nashville.
CALBO:
Mike Rodriguez received a letter from Don Spivey, president of the
Yosemite Chapter of ICC, regarding their hosting of the upcoming 2005 CALBO ABM.
Don requested our contribution to their efforts.
After the rousing presentation on this upcoming ABM by Greg Lamb of the
Yosemite Chapter, the Association voted unanimously to contribute $7,500.
Old Business:
None
New Business:
Brett Hale announced that
the new pins are available and urged everyone to pick theirs up
at the front table today. Brett
also reported that we have arranged a meeting for the evening of October 14th
with the BIT students and instructors at Consumnes
River College. He
hopes for a good turnout of Association members to support this important
program and urges all who are interested in attending to contact him at Brett.Hale@yolocounty.org.
Announcements:
Mike Rodriguez read a letter
from Tom Trimberger, our Association Treasurer and CALBO Board Member, with his
perspectives on the code adoption process. First
among Tom’s list of 10 major points is that nothing that happened was
unexpected. The remainder of the points can be summarized in Tom’s urging us
to not give up, don’t panic or despair. As
he says, nothing has been finalized. KEEP
THE FAITH.
PROGRAM:
The
program consisted of a presentation by Simpson Strong-Tie introducing us to
their company and products. We saw
an excellent video produced by Simpson for contractors and field supervisors
instructing them and their crews on the proper uses of the Simpson products.
We also saw an impressive video on Simpson products’ performance in
simulated (but very realistic) seismic situations.
The presentations were capped off with lunch and a tour of their
manufacturing facility.
NEXT MEETING:
The
next meeting will be on October
3, 2003 at The Depot in Oroville.
The program is
FEMA Technical Bulletin 11-01 -

Henry Chau with FEMA. We will also
be updated on the ICC ABM.

meeting was adjourned after the Simpson facility tour.
Respectfully submitted.
