Photographs are used during the inspection process with certifications being issued at the various stages of completions. Council Member Aranowski noted that many of his clients use digital cameras during such inspections. In response to a question from Mayor Luecke, Mr. Fozo stated that state agencies are not required to have their building inspected during construction and therefore local permits are not required. Therefore Ivy Tech, IUSB,etc have not been inspected. Mr. Fozo stated that the building code organizations are pursing changes in this area with the Indiana Association of Building Officials being the primary force to change this area. The Council Attorney noted that the quarterly State Senators/State Representatives luncheon meeting with the Council will take place at noon on Friday, September 7th and suggested that Mr. Fozo send a letter so that it can be discussed. Mr. Fozo stated that he would send a letter for discussion with the State Senators/State Representatives addressing the concerns over the lack of permits and therefore the lack of inspections for state- owned buildings. Council Member Aranwoski thanked Mr. Fozo for his presentation. There being no further business to come before the Committee, Council Member Aranowski adjourned the meeting at 4:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Council Member James Aranowski, Chairperson Personnel and Finance Committee KCF:kmf Attachment
