r , BOARD OF BUILDING CODE APPFALS MARCH 23, 1989 PAGE 2 that..would include.all such cases, apartment buildings and condominiums could have individual heating units with duat work which wonld take • a lot of inspection time. Mr. Kazak pointed out that each unit is in an individual room and an inspector would have to check each unit so he cannot see these being figured as one unit, however he did have a problem with the double charge'for one unit. Mr. Conway stated that in most instances where there is one unit there is a separate condensor, remote to the main unit. In response to Mr. Konold's questions, Mr. Conway advised that the fees on the Hampton Inn job were figured on the same formula and that Mr. Soni was a contractor on that job, but-with.a different compariy., Mr. Soni advised that the other company did not follow through with their objections to the permit fees. He further explained that they f igure the permit fees at 1% of the cost of the job, they do not ca11 and get an exact permit fee.for each job. The member agreed that most contractors find out the permit costs from the city before they bid a job. P4r. Soni advised that they had paid the permit fee of $7,000.00, but they are asking the Board to. reconsider these fees. Mr. Conway stated that he had a problem with altering a fee after several other contractors had been advised by the Building Department what those fees were and they, in turn, had figured those costs into their bid, he had no objection to the Board reviewing the fee schedule in the future. Mr. Schulz stated that for an inspector to go out on each inspection for only $20.00 does not seem reasonable, B. Schulz moved that as long as a list was devel- oped for this job and various contractors have called in and got these fees, that the Board has no alternative than to let this stand, otherwise they would be doing a disservice to the other contractors, seconded by J. Kazak, and unanimously approved. Mr, Soni stated that he would call the Building Department for the fees on every job they bid and would advise the Board when they did not have the fees available for him. Mr. Kazak also suggested that he obtain a copy of the changes that Westlake has made, V. OLD BUSINESS: Elections will be postponed until all members are present, VI. NEW BUSINESS: Mr. Schulz would like the new members to receive briefcases and advised that when he was on the Board all members had a case which was to contain only the information for the Board. Mr. Conway advised that the 1989 CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code will not be available until April. In reference to the case heard this evening, Mr. Kazak stated that he did have a problem with chargin two fees for one unit and would like the Board to address this "later. Discussion regarding licensing of an individual when employed by more than one general contractor. (Section 1317.01). Mr. Conway advised that he is br.ing this to the Board since.there is a person who is acting as a superintendent for two, possibly three contractors, and it is his belief that this person is more than an employee, and should be considered
