Board of Appeals and Advisors -2- August 11, 2003 -
Assistant Director Remp responded that an offer had been made for the Code
Enforcement Manager position to Robert Vacchi, an attorney and a former City of
San Diego employee. Mr. Vacchi has accepted the position and will be starting
August 22. The application process has been completed for the three vacant
Code Enforcement Officer positions. We hope to have these positions filled by
the end of October. We held interviews for Code Enforcement Technician today
and hope to have the position filled by mid-September.
5. BUILDING OFFICIAL'S COMMENTS/REPORT:
A. State Code Adoption Decision
The NFPA 5000 was adopted, as was suspected would happen. Things could
change depending on what happens with the October 7 recall election. There
are potential problems with the adoption of the NFPA code. T here a re n o
certification programs, no evaluation services programs, and no real special
inspection program. It will be a big challenge for the industry when it comes to
adopting this code, as there will be many changes thatwill be required to be able
to understand this code and be able to use it. The earliest enforcement, most
likely, would be June 2006.
The California Energy Commission would like to get their requirements out as
soon as possible. They will be going to a vote in November 2003, but the
question is whether they will go into effect .at the same time as the others or
much sooner.
6. COMMUNICATIONS (PUBLIC REMARKS/WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE): None
7. ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Ehm adjourned the meeting at 5:4'6 p.m. to the next
