Plans” class originally planned for one day, turned out to be a great success.
The class ended up being popular enough to warrant two days and posted
attendance numbers of 172 total. Nancy Springer announced the upcoming class
October 19th and 20th with Mike Holt on the 2002 NEC to be
held at the Marriott in Rancho Cordova. They also have classes planned for

the “I” codes in Detroit at the ICC ABM. He announced that IAPMO and ICC have
entered into discussions with regard to working together on Codes. He indicated

committee as the “I” codes move toward adoption. He will begin the process of
setting up the committee members and setting the meeting dates.
CALBO
Matt Wheeler provided the Chapter with an update on
the State Agency’s work on the 2004 annual cycle. There was a request to the

2nd quarter of 2006. Matt commented on the PR efforts of CALBO and an
anticipated release of the new web design at the 1st of the year.
Gene Paolini reported on the
FEMA efforts in Louisiana. He reported that California was the only state
currently that has an OES program with safety assessment. There seemed to be
some confusion as to the numbers of people currently deployed and how
reimbursement for expenses was to be distributed. Ted Schoppe added that if
there was interest in helping, contact your section leader through CALBO for
further information.
Gene also reported a great turn
out for CTI in Concord with over 1,000 in attendance. They are looking forward
to the CTI programs being offered in Ontario and in Modesto.

positions the nomination committee felt that the current board should stay in
place and have another year to serve.
