Meeting was called to order at 4:04 P.M. by Chairman Tom Giese, and announced that it
was being conducted in accordance with Iowa Open Meetings Law.
Order of business was as follows:
1. Mike Kelly made motion to suspend with the reading of minutes, seconded by Todd
Geisler. Motion passed 4-1 with Paul Papin objecting.
Bob Yelden from Molo explained that he had numerous years of experience in the
boiler field and somehow didn't have the boiler competency. He asked if the board
would grant it to him. The Board voted 5-0 to award Bob Yelden #18 competency
after Dave Stewart made the motion and Tom Giese seconded it.
Paul Papin wanted it to be noted in the minutes that we were setting a precedence
by grandfathering Bob in. The secretary noted that it would be done on an
individual basis based upon their background and work history
3. Discussion was held on Mike Portzen's request to review the mechanical contractor
licensing. This item was tabled until we can get an interpretation from city attorney.
Discussion was held on the ratification of the IMC. We currently enforce the UMC,
but have adopted the International Building Code. The mechanical board wanted to
review the 2003 I MC. The secretary will order the code books to be reviewed by the
board.
5. The board then signed licenses/competencies.
6. Motion was made to adjourn by Mike Kelly, seconded by Tom Giese. Meeting
adjourned at 5:20 P.M.
