Sec. 20.4 Plumbing Code Board.
(a) Board established. In order to determine the suitability of alternative materials and
methods of installation; to provide for reasonable interpretations of the plumbing
code, to serve as an appeal body for the decisions of the building official; to advise
the city council on all plumbing regulations and procedures; and to provide for
examining applicants for master plumbers and journeyman plumbers licenses and
issuing master plumber and journeyman plumbers licenses; there is hereby created
the plumbing code board.
(b) Membership. The plumbing code board shall consist of five (5) members appointed
by the city council. One member shall hold a license as a journeyman plumber of at
least five (5) years experience; two (2) members shall be master plumbers who have
engaged in the plumbing business as master plumbers for at least five (5) years in
this city; the fourth member shall be one who holds a bachelor of science degree in
the area of physical sciences; and the fifth member shall represent the public at
large.
(c) Term of office. The term of office of all board members shall be three (3) years.
(d) Rules and regulations. The board shall make such rules and prescribe such
procedures as may be reasonably necessary for its operation, except that such rules

elected annually by a majority of the board.
(2) Secretary of the board. The building official, or the building official's designee,
shall be secretary of the board. The secretary shall arrange for meetings and
prepare and keep such minutes and records and perform such other clerical work as
the board may direct.
(3) Quorum. Three (3) members shall constitute a quorum. The concurring vote of
three (3) members of the board shall be necessary to pass any motion.
(4) Service until appointment of successor. Upon completion of the term of office,
members of the plumbing code board shall continue to serve in their full capacity
until their successor has been duly appointed.
(5) Meetings. The plumbing code board shall meet at least once every three (3)
months upon call of the chairperson, secretary or city manager. Members of the
plumbing code board shall attend at least two-thirds (2/3) of all scheduled meetings
within atwelve-month period. If any member does not attend such prescribed

the secretary.
(7) Conformity with open meetings law. All meetings shall be held in conformance
with provisions of the Iowa Open Meetings Law.

minutes of each meeting of the board within ten (10) working days after such
meeting.
(9) Administrative policies. All administrative, personnel, accounting, budgetary, and
procedural policies of the city shall govern the plumbing code board in all of its
operations.
(10) Duties when serving as an appeals board. Any person who is aggrieved by a
decision of the building official on any requirements resulting from the enforcement
of the plumbing code, may appeal from such decision to the plumbing code board
and said board shall serve as an appeal board. In case the aggrieved party is a
member of said board, said member shall be disqualified as a member of the board
acting as an appeal board, until the person aggrieved has been heard and a
decision rendered.
The appeal shall be made by the person aggrieved, giving written notice of such
appeal to the building official at the building official's office within seven (7) days of
receipt of decision from which the appeal is taken. The plumbing code board sitting
as an appeal board shall meet within seven (7) days after receiving such notice and
render a decision within five (5) days thereafter. Any interested party, including the
building official, shall have the right to present their case to the appeal board, whose
decision shall be final unless appealed to the district court as provided by law.
The board of appeals may reverse or modify a decision of the building official only
on finding that:
a. The building official incorrectly interpreted a provision of this code;
b. The decision of the building official creates an unnecessary hardship upon the
appellant.
In so modifying or reversing such decision of the building official, the board of
appeals may authorize any alternate to the decision of the building official and the
provisions of the plumbing code, provided it finds the proposed material or method of
construction is satisfactory for the use intended and complies with the provisions of
this code, and that the material, method or work offered is, for the purpose intended,
at least equivalent to that prescribed by this code in suitability, strength,
effectiveness, durability, safety and sanitation.
The board of appeals shall require that sufficient evidence or proof be submitted to
substantiate any claims made regarding the use of alternates.

I have been informed that there might be another opening on the Civil Service Board
again this year. In order to provide more detailed information regarding my application
for this position I am enclosing a copy of my resume' for your information.
Presently I am involved with two organizations, the Hoffmann Development Center and
Area Residential Care as a member of their operational boards. I serve as Treasurer for
the Hoffmann Board of Directors. Meetings of each of these boards are scheduled once a
month.
The reasoning behind my application for appointment to the Civil Service Board is that
I've spent my adult life in the service of my city and my country, as a police officer for
the City of Dubuque, and also as a member of the U.S. Naval Reserve. During both of
these periods it became clear to me that the quality of service to citizens begins at the
initial application and certification level. Citizens are entitled to expect the best from the
employees that serve them. From that perspective the testing and certification of the best
applicants is essential to that goal. It is my understanding that the Civil Service Board
supervises the testing and certification process that can accomplish this goal. In addition,
this board also provides testing and certification for the appointment of supervisory
positions within each department. This is another area that can result in a high level of
quality of service to each department and to the community, and another reason that I
would like to become involved in this process.
I appreciate your consideration of my application.
