The meeting was called to order at 4:00 P.M. and announced that it was being conducted
in accordance with Iowa Open Meetings Law. Order of business was as follows:
1. The Board reviewed and signed the competency card applications for the following:
Kenneth L. Beaulieu (Refrigeration B-5) #628
Glen J. Recker (Administration L-l) #606
Jim Thompson (Administration L-l) #625
Jeff Hintze (Boiler Installation B-3)#626
Willard G. Eggers (Gas Contractor B-4, Administration L-l)
#627
The board reviewed and signed the mechanical registration applications for the
following firms:
S & R Heating and Cooling #157
Ryan and Associates, Inc. (HVAC) #156
The board reviewed the mechanical registration application submitted by Chimney
Specialists, Inc. to install gas fireplaces and stoves, but no action was taken to sign
the application because they wanted further input from the Experior Testing people
to assure the board that the Gas Contractor test qualified the holder of such license
to install such appliances. The board was particularly concerned that the test in
question covered venting principles which is so very important in the proper
installation of any gas fueled appliance. Mr. Willard Eggers holds the gas contractor
license and is co-manager of Dubuque Fireplace and Patio and it is on this premise
that Chimney Specialists, Inc. desires to have mechanical registration in the
Dubuque jurisdiction,
Jerry Stoffel (Building Services) relayed to the board the input he had gotten from
Experior per telephone that the gas contractor test did cover venting principles and
that such a test would qualify one to install gas fireplaces. The board commissioned
Jerry to obtain further information in writing from Experior in this respect.
4. Motion to adjourn was made by Dave Grothe, seconded by Paul Brashaw. The
meeting adjourned at 5:15 P.M.
Note: Dave Grothe has been doing a great job as chairman of the board and on behalf of
the City, we thank Dave for his extra efforts he has shown in this capacity.
However, the City of Dubuque Ordinance requires that elections of chairpersons be
held annually. This will be done at the next meeting.
Lyle H. Grant, Secretary
