WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.800
 you can talk about this legally. Okay, we've got a quorum, so I'm going to call the meeting

00:00:06.800 --> 00:00:16.320
 to order at about 18 minutes after three. We will have the Pledge of Allegiance. I believe

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.760
 that's the first item on the agenda. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:31.720
 of America to the Republic, one nation under God, indivisible, in liberty and justice for

00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:39.760
 all. And I'm going to have David lead us in the next one. Thank you, David. I don't know

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:45.760
 if I remember the Texas flag. Texas flag. I honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:55.080
 to the Texas one state, one indivisible. That was a very good job. Good. The first item

00:00:55.080 --> 00:01:04.800
 on the agenda is we need to consider the approval of the May 13th, 2021 meeting minutes. Does

00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:11.240
 everybody have a copy of that that's present? And we will need somebody to make a motion

00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:20.760
 and you will have to have been present at the meeting of May 13. Greg, I'll make the

00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:30.600
 motion. Let it be stated that David Mullen made the motion. Do I have a second? I second

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:41.080
 that motion. Cory, thank you very much for this. Those in favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye.

00:01:41.080 --> 00:01:50.280
 Let the meeting minutes show that it passed. The next item on the agenda is to receive

00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:55.680
 a report and hold a discussion and give a staff direction relating the processes of

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:02.040
 the update of the construction codes and standards as adopted by the city. International plumbing,

00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:08.840
 mechanical, fuel, gas, and related codes of building fire, existing building, residential

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.440
 swimming pool and spa, energy code, and national electrical code. Excuse me. The primary focus

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:21.040
 will be for the national electric code, the international mechanical, plumbing, and fuel

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:31.320
 gas and assorted references to the other codes as applicable. Thanks, Emily, for writing all

00:02:31.320 --> 00:02:40.440
 that down. So, at discussing Tory to bring you up to speed, now that we're holding our

00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:46.480
 meeting, we're going to sounds like have the same verbiage up above that we just discussed.

00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:52.800
 I just read. But next meeting, we will most likely dive into the code that will start

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:59.400
 with mechanical, plumbing, and possibly fuel gas as a footnote of what topics we will most

00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:06.120
 likely attempt to cover. If we can leave it open-ended, Stephanie, can we leave it open-ended

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.840
 that we will attempt to get to, say, the fuel gas? And if we don't, we will push it to the

00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:19.240
 following agenda? Yes, because it's listed as a possible topic of consideration. Okay,

00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:24.640
 so if Emily could push us, say, the first four or five items, knowing we're going to

00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:31.480
 cover the first two or three next week, and if we fly through them, they're still on the

00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:35.600
 list and we move forward to the next one, and if we get through them all, wonderful.

00:03:35.600 --> 00:03:42.840
 If we only stop on the first and we stay there the whole hour, well, then it will be exciting.

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:50.280
 And Emily will send you the background information of the codes that have changed, the alterations,

00:03:50.280 --> 00:04:00.160
 the suggestions or modifications. Is that right, Emily? Okay. So she's shaking her head,

00:04:00.160 --> 00:04:05.040
 so that means it's all going to be done perfect, and each of you board members will be receiving

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:11.400
 an email between now and the next meeting. Is there anybody that would not be able to

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:19.040
 make the next meeting, which I believe will be, is that going to be the 10th, am I correct?

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.760
 Is that going to be a virtual meeting? I mean, is that going to be an in-person meeting?

00:04:24.760 --> 00:04:29.840
 Well, there was discussion. I think that Selena needs to answer that one.

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:37.560
 Yes, sir. We are planning on doing that one in person. Okay. Sebastian, you made a comment

00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:41.920
 one time. You may be uncomfortable in doing so. Do we need to make provisions for you

00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:47.080
 to be able to log in from afar? I'll just go ahead and show up. It's just

00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:52.760
 further to travel. I have to miss more time, but that's fine. I'll just show up in person.

00:04:52.760 --> 00:04:59.000
 Well, let me ask the question of, I guess, Stephanie or Emily, or maybe it's the virtual

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:04.320
 host. If anybody is unable to show up, we could still do it virtually, and we could

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:11.360
 some meet in person and some come in as a virtual. Is that a possibility and still legal?

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.720
 Yes. Thank you.

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.760
 Virtual hosts may be busy right now, not realizing what we're talking about because it's exciting.

00:05:20.760 --> 00:05:28.720
 They want to follow up and see if that can be done for Sebastian or anybody else that

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:34.160
 has that issue. Quorum's most important. Tori, are you available?

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.280
 I'm available, but I'm still out of town. Matter of fact, I'm out of the state. I'm

00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:42.080
 currently in North Carolina, and next week I'll be in Virginia.

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:48.880
 Well, we could move the meeting to that location, but it'd be better if you log in.

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:55.120
 But I will call in. Okay. Emily, is there something you or Selena

00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:01.200
 want to check on in regards to- Yes, I will check on it. Due to the new

00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:08.680
 resolution passed by city council, Habsco is going, starting on the 14th, will be considered

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:14.760
 an in-person only meeting. But I will reach out to the city secretary to see if there

00:06:14.760 --> 00:06:19.880
 might be a virtual option for Ms. Mitchell or Mr. Dugadillo.

00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:26.040
 Did you say the 14th is when that will be required to meet in person?

00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:31.760
 Yes. I can see if our meeting on the 10th can still be virtual since it hasn't reached

00:06:31.760 --> 00:06:38.560
 that deadline. But once June 14th comes around, it will be considered a fully in-person meeting.

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:43.280
 Did everybody with the board hear that? Yes.

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:47.080
 Okay. Yes, we heard it. I heard it.

00:06:47.080 --> 00:06:53.240
 Okay. So Selena, when you're busy with the agenda together, we need to make sure that

00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:58.440
 we start working with people's schedules now that summer's here, and we try to make sure

00:06:58.440 --> 00:07:07.720
 we have a quorum every time, because we would not want Stephanie to get upset.

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:15.480
 Are there any other notes that we can cover at this point in time, or are we needing to

00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:21.020
 adjourn and be better prepared for next week? Emily.

00:07:21.020 --> 00:07:29.240
 I just wanted to make sure everybody was able to sign in to ICC and access the codes and

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:35.360
 make notes if they wanted to. I know I went in today, I saw Greg has added some notes

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:42.160
 in the plumbing code. So if you can't, please reach out to me. I'm happy to walk you through

00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.960
 it. I was able to log in.

00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:49.560
 Okay, great. I've been in.

00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:55.760
 Okay, excellent. And I think, Tori, you and I got it down on your computer too.

00:07:55.760 --> 00:08:01.960
 Yes, you were an excellent teacher. Yes, thank you.

00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:06.440
 Great. The notes I made, I just copied off of YouTube

00:08:06.440 --> 00:08:14.680
 and made them up, so it wasn't a big deal. Okay. Then, is there any other discussion

00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:22.640
 at this point in time before we adjourn the meeting? Any other questions regarding this?

00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:28.040
 Selena, you'll follow up with the schedule and working through the details and let us

00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.640
 know. Emily's going to send us out an email regarding the topics and the footnotes that

00:08:33.640 --> 00:08:42.960
 we need to most likely focus on first. And then we will start next week on the 10th.

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:49.760
 Same time, possibly different location at the city offices and those that zoom in will

00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:50.760
 zoom in.

00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:51.760
 Yes, sir.

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:58.760
 Are you meeting in that room, Emily, where we met the other day, the boardroom? Or will

00:08:58.760 --> 00:09:00.440
 this be at City Council?

00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:07.400
 I am not certain where we will meet because we'll want to, if we're doing like a zoom,

00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:13.520
 we'll want to have some way to, you know, dial into somebody. This would be a great

00:09:13.520 --> 00:09:19.400
 room, but I don't know if that's allowed or, you know, all that.

00:09:19.400 --> 00:09:23.160
 We may be going to the chamber. I don't know if we're going to the chamber like we used

00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:24.160
 to.

00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:31.440
 There's definitely a possibility, but I can reach back out once the location is determined.

00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:38.080
 Well we knew you were a genius and you would figure it out. Thank you. Okay, I need somebody

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.360
 to make a motion to adjourn.

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:43.480
 I motion to adjourn.

00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:47.360
 Sebastian, thank you. Do I have a second?

00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.920
 Yes, sir. I second that motion.

00:09:49.920 --> 00:09:54.200
 Tori, thank you very much. All those in favor, say aye.

00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:55.200
 Aye.

00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:01.200
 Those opposed, it passes. Thank you, everybody. Stephanie, you were great help.

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:06.760
 I don't know about that. Thank you, Greg.
