us are new? 204 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,280 >> Tori, Sebastian, and Greg, yes. 205 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,980 >> And why did the two new people get nominated to do everything? 206 00:12:16,980 --> 00:12:21,040 >> I'll take that on a sidebar after the fact. 207 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,920 We like to get the new ones. 208 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:29,720 >> Yeah, we'll be -- I'll suggest a meeting location. 209 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,840 So introduce -- Tori, is Tori on here? 210 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,600 >> Yes, I am. 211 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:42,440 >> Tori, you want to introduce yourself real quick? 212 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,440 >> Hi. 213 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,760 I'm Tori Mitchell. 214 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,600 I retired and moved to Denton around about 2017. 215 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,640 I retired in August of 2014 from the military and moved to Denton in 2017. 216 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:02,320 I was living in Kalapata and have enjoyed myself since I've arrived to Denton. 217 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,600 >> Well, welcome to Denton and thank you for your service. 218 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,600 I do appreciate it. 219 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,600 >> Thank you for your service. 220 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,600 Yes. 221 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,600 >> All right. 222 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,600 Thank you all. 223 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,600 >> Sebastian? 224 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,600 >> Yes. 225 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,600 My name is Sebastian Delgadillo. 226 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:23,760 I'm -- I've actually been living in Denton since about 2006-ish. 227 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,240 I went to college here. 228 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:32,160 I found my job around this area, and I really like the town, and I decided I want to go 229 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,040 in and get involved. 230 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,040 >> What's your background? 231 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,240 >> My background is in engineering. 232 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,240 >> Congratulations. 233 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,040 Not an easy thing to do. 234 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,040 My name is Greg Coward. 235 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:51,040 I'm a plumbing and air conditioning contractor, born and raised in this city, and been on 236 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,720 this committee a number of times. 237 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,960 So I'm lucky to be on it again and serve with each of you, looking forward to it, all because 238 00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,960 of Scott. 239 00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:06,000 >> We can have a sidebar later, Scott. 240 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000 >> Absolutely. 241 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Thank you. 242 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Thank you very much for all of you. 243 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,960 I appreciate your civil service, and our community is better for it. 244 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,680 So I just personally would say thank you. 245 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:16,680 >> It's our pleasure. 246 00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:20,360 If you don't want to give back, then I guess get out. 247 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,520 I didn't say that. 248 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,240 >> I agree. 249 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,680 >> You like that one there, Tori? 250 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,680 Okay. 251 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:36,640 >> The next part is to receive a report from the discussion regarding the boards of commission 252 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,640 and debt for you, Scott? 253 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,640 >> I believe -- Selena, are you doing that? 254 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,640 >> Yes. 255 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:44,640 >> Or Emily. 256 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:45,640 >> Appendance policy, Selena? 257 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,640 >> Yes. 258 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:54,640 You all should have received the -- in the backup, the attendance policy, and the main 259 00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:01,680 thing to touch on, Scott, in that is if you're going to be absent, just to let me or somebody 260 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:09,280 know so we are where you're not going to be in, and on that policy, there is also a list 261 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:17,160 of excused absences and unexcused absences, and in the meeting, if you are not going to 262 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:23,260 be attending for whatever reason, we will be stating your absence and whether it's excused 263 00:15:23,260 --> 00:15:25,960 or unexcused. 264 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:32,840 >> Does anybody have any concerns or questions regarding that issue? 265 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,520 You don't want to have to see the principal. 266 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,040 >> That's right. 267 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,640 >> Yeah. 268 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:52,000 So is that -- is that section two as well that you just covered, or am I missing -- 269 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000 >> That's D. 270 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,000 >> Okay. 271 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000 So you're on to E. 272 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:02,080 >> Receive a report and hold a discussion on the proposed adoption of the 2021 building 273 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,040 codes and then the 2020 national electric code. 274 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,440 I would guess that's you, Scott. 275 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:15,040 >> I will touch on it, and I will see if Emily would like to add. 276 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,000 I'm very excited for us to be going down a road. 277 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:27,400 We went through the vast majority of the 2018s -- actually, we went through all of the 2018s 278 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,840 pretty intensively, so some of you have served doing that. 279 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,240 This will be a very similar experience. 280 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:42,440 However, we're going to roll with the changes, and so by saying that is we're going to provide 281 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,640 you with electronic copies of all of the codes. 282 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,760 So we will provide those in the very near future. 283 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,360 We will provide an outline, as we have in the past, which will really give you a summary 284 00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:01,760 of what the code section is that we're proposing to amend, why we're proposing to amend it, 285 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,020 and give you a better understanding, and then we'll walk through each one of those. 286 00:17:06,020 --> 00:17:11,280 So we'll start off with really kind of the fundamentals of what the codes are, the building 287 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:18,300 blocks, and ultimately address each of the items within what the code contains and how 288 00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:25,240 those codes work together, and included with that will be the National Electric Code. 289 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,480 That is a different year because it is published on a different cycle. 290 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:37,200 However, the adopted codes and the proposed adopted codes recognize the National Electric 291 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,440 Code, and it typically is behind that, and it's built right in. 292 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,920 So for those of you that are new to the commission, just have an understanding that because there's 293 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:52,960 a different year with that, it really is already incorporated into the international code. 294 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,040 So largely we adopt the international codes, and that's where that's at. 295 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,960 And Emily, did you prepare anything that you'd like to go through? 296 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,720 I did not. 297 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,840 We're still waiting for those books to come in. 298 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,440 I did want to just let everybody know, if you've got any questions, please reach out 299 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,440 to me directly. 300 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,580 I'm happy to help just understand what the code is saying or what we're doing. 301 00:18:17,580 --> 00:18:20,400 So feel free to do that. 302 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,400 Great. 303 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,400 Thank you. 304 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,760 And we'll get everything out to you as soon as we get it. 305 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,760 And I guess I'll call... 306 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,760 Okay. 307 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,760 Hey, Emily, can you... 308 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:29,760 Go ahead, Tori. 309 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,760 I'm sorry. 310 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,760 Oh, no. 311 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,760 I was asking Emily, could she please email us her contact information? 312 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,040 I don't know if I have it or not. 313 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,640 Yeah, I can send that out after this. 314 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:40,640 All right. 315 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,640 Thank you. 316 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:48,560 I'll have Selena send out a really kind of an overview of the department. 317 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,520 And so you have Emily and Amber. 318 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:56,120 Emily and Amber will play major roles in this, as well as Billy Ooten, which is our assisting 319 00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:58,200 building official over field services. 320 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:04,440 Amber is over our plan review services, and Emily is the deputy building official and really 321 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,200 championing going through the code process. 322 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:13,040 I can tell you, I have been witnessing her sitting in the conference room in our new 323 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,280 space going through the code changes. 324 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,600 So ICC puts on a lot of training sessions. 325 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:26,160 I know once you receive these publications, for those of you that are new to the board, 326 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,480 you're going to be completely overwhelmed with the vast amount of material that there 327 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,600 is. 328 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:37,280 Our staff does an excellent job of really summarizing, boiling that down and distilling 329 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:43,560 it into a very simple, easy to understand language, and that's the documentation that 330 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,400 you'll receive in addition to that. 331 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,440 So we'll walk through each of the codes independently. 332 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,320 You'll know in advance of what it is that we're going to be talking to you about. 333 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:59,560 We'll provide you with a presentation, and again, the sheets will somewhat speak for 334 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:06,520 themselves, and certainly if you have any questions at all, feel free to email any one 335 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,960 of us, all of us, and we'll provide that clarity. 336 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:16,480 I would encourage you to be vocal in these meetings. 337 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:22,440 Certainly want you to be able to articulate the questions that you have, because for just 338 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:28,040 my experience in doing this, many of the other commission members have the same question. 339 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,680 And then the other important part to this is what we haven't done to the past is this 340 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,480 is being live-screened. 341 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,520 So the public is also going to have questions or have to have an understanding. 342 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:46,600 So there is absolutely no question that shouldn't be asked, and hopefully we're providing it 343 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,760 in a format that people can digest it. 344 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,400 Certainly take any of that critique. 345 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,760 If there are things that we need to move a little slower on, if we need to get a little 346 00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:02,000 bit more in detail on, do not hesitate to coach us, encourage us, tell us. 347 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,160 We're here to serve you. 348 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,480 You are serving the citizens of Benton, and it should be a good experience. 349 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,600 I think we'll be able to do this pretty expeditiously. 350 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,760 This format I think will lend itself a lot better to being able to go through the process 351 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,240 and having the documentation at your fingertips. 352 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,240 Is there any questions, Mr. Chair, from yourself or anyone on the commission? 353 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,280 Emily, can you hear me? 354 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,720 Yes. 355 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:37,000 So you've been reviewing all these documents, and I'm sure they're exciting, and you've 356 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:43,240 been marking them up with the items you're wanting to change, modify, or address so that 357 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,000 we can not have to read everything, hopefully. 358 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000 Correct. 359 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:52,840 Do you have any anticipation of having these accepted and part of the code for Denton September 360 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,840 1? 361 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:59,040 Well, Scott probably should talk to that one. 362 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:06,200 Well, I thought so, but I was trying to be respectful since you were doing all the work. 363 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,640 Emily has been doing a lot of the heavy lifting. 364 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:14,480 I will tell you that we have the first work session coming up with council on May 25th, 365 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:20,260 so we're going to provide them an introduction to the codes, the rationale for the new members 366 00:22:20,260 --> 00:22:23,360 that are on the commission. 367 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:28,200 We are under the 2012 code. 368 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:35,640 The 2021 code was -- they began publishing in, I guess, October, November last year. 369 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:41,660 The final one came out probably in February of this year. 370 00:22:41,660 --> 00:22:49,000 The code review process is already underway for the 2024 codes, so the codes that we're 371 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,160 adopting have been in the process for the past three years. 372 00:22:54,160 --> 00:23:01,680 Again, with the extensive work that we did with the 2018 codes, we do not anticipate significant 373 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:08,320 changes from the 2018 to the 2021, so we'll really be carrying forward the work that we 374 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:16,960 did with the 2018s, going to provide council an update on May the 24th, if I'm correct 375 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:24,320 on my date, and then we'll continue to work session those. 376 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,000 That's really part of what we'll get out to you is we're going to look to send this as 377 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:34,280 an established date and time and be able to meet at the frequency that is convenient for 378 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,840 you and as often as you can. 379 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:43,960 I will tell you that it is much more effective for you as a commission if you're staying 380 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:49,960 engaged into this rather than dragging it out, so if we take and we have a meeting once 381 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:56,320 a month, you'll forget everything that you learned the last meeting, so if we can do 382 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:02,800 this each week, it will be much more effective for you to kind of understand the correlation 383 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,800 between them. 384 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,120 I don't know that your time will allow you to do that, but certainly the staff, we're 385 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:15,880 going to work to try to do that for you, and I guess Mr. Chair, it might be a good question 386 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:21,120 at least to ask why we're on here as it relates to that, is if this is an appropriate time, 387 00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:27,720 a good time for everyone to meet, just to lock out the three to five window on Thursday. 388 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:37,320 So does anybody have any problem with a Thursday every week or do we have to make any offsetting 389 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,600 concessions and do it two times a month? 390 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,480 Those of you who need to speak up at this point in time. 391 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,400 How often would we, I mean, how long would we do this every week? 392 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,720 I mean, is this something that's going to be like a per month? 393 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,000 A Thursday falls every week. 394 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,880 No, I mean, how many times are we going to meet? 395 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:07,800 I think that, Commissioner Mullen, I would say that it really is going to depend on, 396 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,000 you know, the commission and how in depth the commission wants to get. 397 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:18,800 I will tell you that we will probably program a week for each of the codes based on what 398 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,400 we've done to the past and the work that's already been performed. 399 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,360 And I will offer myself up to the new commission members if they'd like to just have kind of 400 00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:32,120 a sidebar to get brought up to speed. 401 00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:37,280 And I think that ultimately we could take two or three and have a couple of just mini 402 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:43,920 sessions, whether it's a long lunch or something, explain what we've done to the past, where 403 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,440 we're at, and how to move forward. 404 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,360 This is Tori, can I just chime in? 405 00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:57,600 I would like, I prefer to meet weekly and if Thursday at 3 p.m. works for everybody, 406 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,880 I don't have a problem with that. 407 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,440 I think we will reap greater rewards doing it weekly. 408 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,360 That's just my opinion. 409 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:12,720 Tori, I appreciate your input, I do agree, I've gone through this before with this staff, 410 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,480 they're very good at getting it done, but we do need to stay on top of it. 411 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:25,460 At this point in time, Scott, Emily, I think we ought to consider trying to make this something 412 00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:28,400 we do every week on Thursday at 3 o'clock. 413 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:34,400 If it will block out two hours, if it takes only one hour or we get stumped, then we can 414 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:39,120 adjust and if it starts falling off and people aren't available, then that may be how we 415 00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:40,120 have to address it. 416 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:43,000 Anybody have any input? 417 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:49,400 I think my only concern is, is that going to be, is city staff going to be able to keep 418 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,040 up with all this stuff if we meet every week? 419 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,320 I remember we met like every other week. 420 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,520 This staff is phenomenal, they'll make it happen. 421 00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,640 Thank you, Mr. Chair. 422 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:00,720 We absolutely will. 423 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,400 We have been working on this for quite some time since the publications have come out, 424 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,120 so we're really ahead of the curve. 425 00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:11,400 I think the challenge will be is just trying to get you up to speed. 426 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:17,560 So certainly staff will be here to serve you, it will be, as long as we're providing the 427 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:23,120 material and the content in such a way that you're able to digest it and you understand 428 00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:28,160 it and you agree or make recommendation for change, whatever that might be, that's what 429 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,600 we'll carry forward. 430 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,920 I do not anticipate that we would meet next week, just want to give you a little bit of 431 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,400 time with the publications first. 432 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:42,240 So I assume that that first meeting then would probably be the first week of May. 433 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,080 May 6th? 434 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,080 Yeah, anticipating. 435 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:51,560 And what we have to do, the other piece that is critical for us is because we have a limited 436 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:59,000 number of technical staff in DTV, we've got to coordinate with other city departments 437 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,800 as to when it is that they're having meetings. 438 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:07,560 So Selena will confirm that this meeting time does work for the city secretary's office 439 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,560 in DTV. 440 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,240 We can block this time out so it's televised. 441 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,240 Okay. 442 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:20,000 Emma, we've been talking about this before, we may want to try to get, if you send everything 443 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,920 out it can be overwhelming and you're probably not ready throughout the entire code. 444 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:31,780 Maybe we could get two or three sessions ahead and that would be all I would highly suggest 445 00:28:31,780 --> 00:28:34,940 we send out because it's overwhelming. 446 00:28:34,940 --> 00:28:37,160 Thank you, Mr. Chair. 447 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:43,260 No, read ahead if there's something regarding electrical code that you are able to reach 448 00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:49,800 out to an intelligent electrical contractor that could provide some input, how it is going 449 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,640 to be applied in the field versus what we're reading in the code. 450 00:28:54,640 --> 00:29:00,520 Those are the kind of things I highly suggest you reach out and get input on because the 451 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,600 public is going to need to know about it but the end user that is going to use this code 452 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,340 are going to be your contractors and they're the ones that are probably going to have the 453 00:29:09,340 --> 00:29:14,640 most knowledge of how it's going to be implemented unless I'm wrong. 454 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:21,120 Mr. Chair, you are spot on and ultimately really what we need to do and when I say overwhelming 455 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,440 would be that we're going to provide you with all of these electronic books which really 456 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:33,400 the pages number into the thousands, the building code is whatever the number is now 500, 600 457 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:39,600 pages, the residential code is 500 or 600 pages, so on and so forth so ultimately somebody 458 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:47,600 is going to end up with online access to thousands of pages of text which is code and so that 459 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,280 can be overwhelming. 460 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:55,640 To your point, we absolutely will probably just put you a week out or two weeks out with 461 00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:01,680 the material that we're providing so i.e. we'll probably bring the first code to you, 462 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,280 we'll provide that information in advance, kind of an outline of what we're going to 463 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,820 be talking about so you can be prepared and then really we will walk you through each 464 00:30:09,820 --> 00:30:15,720 of those items in the meeting whether it is for action the next meeting so then you can 465 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,440 digest it. 466 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:24,600 Your second point is absolutely critical, our reliance upon the development community 467 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:31,260 to have the electrical contractors, the mechanical contractors, the plumbing contractors, all 468 00:30:31,260 --> 00:30:36,720 of those individuals be able to weigh in and we will be reaching out to those groups to 469 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,920 make sure they're aware when we're talking about those particular items, those particular 470 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,400 weeks and certainly wish to get their feedback so thank you for that. 471 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,160 That's why we picked you as the chair brother because you're on top of all this. 472 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:56,240 Oh yeah, yeah you're welcome, I'll be looking for y'all's thank you cards in the mail at 473 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,240 any given time. 474 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,400 I guess I speak, some of you haven't ever done this before, I've done it and I know 475 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:10,000 the staff has done it, just for a quick instance, some of the products or the requirements in 476 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:16,800 the code may be requiring something that at this point in time is not made. 477 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:23,880 They're requiring a, for instance, a two before be made of some special species that does 478 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:29,040 this or that in the future code, it may not be something that's feasible, it may not be 479 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:35,120 something obtainable and that is where the city and each of you will come in critically 480 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:40,800 and be able to rewrite some of the code or modify the code to make sure that if we're 481 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,640 going to build to it, we also can get products for it. 482 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:51,240 That's just a quick synopsis, I know it sounds silly but these codes are futuristic in what 483 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,360 they're doing, they're looking forward. 484 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,680 Sometimes the products don't exist, is that a fair statement Scott? 485 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,960 Absolutely, and I'll give you a really good example of that. 486 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:11,200 In the fire code, I think it's been two code cycles ago, they required that buildings, 487 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,720 high rise buildings would have to have repeaters for radios. 488 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:22,440 So the fire department, it came really out of 9/11 that they had to have repeaters. 489 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:28,360 So the code then would require building owners to install these radio repeaters into their 490 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:33,520 facility so if a firefighter were to get into a stairwell that his radio would continue 491 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,520 to work. 492 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:40,200 Well, the code put that in, ultimately the city of Denton didn't have the technology 493 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:46,160 so the new radio systems were not in place, they were in some communities. 494 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,360 So we really had to amend the code to peel that back out and say, well that retroactive 495 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:55,180 provision we will not enforce because again, why would we have a building owner put something 496 00:32:55,180 --> 00:32:58,720 into a facility if we can't utilize that? 497 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:06,380 And so that's a real world example of where that's at and to the chair's point, many times 498 00:33:06,380 --> 00:33:13,000 because this code is not going to be republished until 2024. 499 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:18,760 So this code has to think in terms of changes in technology, how it is that we're going 500 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:24,120 to have advancements, whether it's a simple thing like a toilet, if the federal government 501 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:31,020 is going to make changes to, you know, currently it's 1.6 gallons per flush, there were conversations 502 00:33:31,020 --> 00:33:35,600 occurring that it was going to be 1.2 gallons or a gallon per flush. 503 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:39,960 So we just have to make sure that all of that is relative and that's what staff, you know, 504 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:45,320 Emily and her team have been diligently scouring the code, looking at the significant changes 505 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:52,360 and making sure all of those items are really relative to Denton and what we need to do. 506 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:58,640 I will also tell you, my philosophy is that we make minimal amendments to the codes. 507 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:06,000 The codes are vetted nationally, they have regional components for weathering and national 508 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,720 natural disasters that occur in areas. 509 00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:17,320 So they take in all of those considerations, i.e. size, snow loads, weather conditions. 510 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:23,720 And so anytime that you make an amendment to the code, you may affect another code or 511 00:34:23,720 --> 00:34:25,160 another section of the code. 512 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,200 So we really try to minimize those, which will make your job much easier. 513 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:34,000 So you'll see those examples in our next meeting. 514 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,360 Hopefully as simple enough, we'll take any feedback that we need to get you what you 515 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,360 need. 516 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,360 But thank you, Mr. Chair. 517 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,160 Most of the changes, and you're going to find that most of them is very minimal and we may 518 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,920 skip right through three or four in a two-hour session and we may find ourselves with one 519 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,020 section that takes an hour just to get through part of it. 520 00:34:55,020 --> 00:34:59,920 Some of them are more difficult than others, but I appreciate you speaking to that, Scott, 521 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:04,080 because you guys usually do look at things pretty practical. 522 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,540 So it sounds like we don't have a problem from everybody. 523 00:35:08,540 --> 00:35:14,480 Looks like we're going to do it not this coming week, but the following as long as you can. 524 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:21,440 I guess Amber, I'm not sure if that's your job, but make sure that the DTV can host this 525 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,320 product or this project. 526 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,920 Is that what we're going to check on? 527 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:27,920 It'll be Selena. 528 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:28,920 Absolutely. 529 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,920 I apologize. 530 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:30,920 Okay, Selena. 531 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,960 We'll let you know, though. 532 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,040 We'll keep in constant communication. 533 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,680 We'll send you some materials. 534 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:43,360 We'll make it truly as simple as we can, and I encourage any of you that would like any 535 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,560 assistance once you do start receiving materials, don't hesitate to call us. 536 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:48,960 Oh, it's exciting reading. 537 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,760 I'm looking forward to it. 538 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:51,760 Yeah. 539 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:57,560 With that said, is there any other meeting minutes that I'm needing to address? 540 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:02,440 I don't see anything unless I'm- You have item number two, which is concluding 541 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:03,440 items. 542 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,400 So if you wish to have, if any of the members would like to have any- 543 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,400 Yeah, you know what? 544 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:28,000 There's things my co-chair needs to read item number two. 545 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,000 He's muted. 546 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,000 He just finished it. 547 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,000 He did a good job, though. 548 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,520 You know, I heard it too. 549 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:33,520 That's amazing. 550 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,520 That's a good trick. 551 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:35,520 I'll start using that. 552 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,520 Okay. 553 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,520 I guess my space bar has decided not to work. 554 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:47,680 Concluding items under section 551.042 of the Texas Open Meetings Act, respond to inquiries 555 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:53,040 from the Health and Building Standards Commission for the public and specific factual information 556 00:36:53,040 --> 00:37:00,440 or recitation of policy or accept a proposal in place of matter- 557 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,440 I'm not laughing at you. 558 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,440 I'm laughing at Scott. 559 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,080 I am shaking my head. 560 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,080 That's all. 561 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,120 I'm shaking my head. 562 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:23,680 Mr. Car, he is still reading, but he is muted, and I hate you putting that through him. 563 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:24,680 Yeah. 564 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,680 I know. 565 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,240 I appreciate the suggestion. 566 00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:30,640 So I believe that concludes- 567 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:37,520 Yes, sir, just if anybody had anything else, that was an opportunity. 568 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,880 Anybody have anything else for the current agenda item or future agenda items that we 569 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,120 need to bring up and put on the next agenda? 570 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:52,360 Well, before we conclude the meeting, I want to say I appreciate each of you for volunteering 571 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,960 your time, your efforts, those of you that have just joined, looking forward to working 572 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:57,960 with you. 573 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:04,200 If you're able to meet in person one day, the Encyclopedia Britannica will be sent out 574 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:12,160 to you pretty soon to read, and there are very few pictures in it, so good luck. 575 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:17,640 And if there's nothing else, I need a motion to approve to adjourn this meeting. 576 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:27,680 Is that correct, Scott, or am I missing something? 577 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,440 You can ask for a motion to adjourn. 578 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,440 Yep. 579 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,640 I need a motion to adjourn the meeting. 580 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,000 I move to adjourn the meeting. 581 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,760 Mike, that's a wonderful suggestion. 582 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,760 All those in favor? 583 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:40,760 Aye. 584 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:41,760 Aye. 585 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,060 Those opposed? 586 00:38:45,060 --> 00:38:47,120 I wish everybody a wonderful- 587 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,960 Who seconded that? 588 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,600 I said, do we need a second? 589 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:51,600 Tori seconded. 590 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:52,600 I heard her. 591 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:53,600 Uh-huh. 592 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:54,600 I did. 593 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:55,600 Okay. 594 00:38:55,600 -->
