The meeting was called for the purpose of reviewing Bill No. 124-80, a Bill which would amend the property maintenance code. Kathy Barnard reviewed the background of the Bill. She highlighted that in 1977 the Common Council adopted the 1970 BOCA Basic Housing- , Property Maintenance Code, which was the most recent edition at that time. She explained that Bill No. 124-80 would replace the 1970 version with the updated 1978 BOCA Basic Property Maintenance Code. Kathy Barnard also noted that she had met with James Markle and Kathy Baumgartner who reviewed the various amendments proposed to the BOCA Code. Chairman Taylor then stated that with the assistance of the Council Attorney he had some concern over areas which may be in conflict with the Uniform Building Code as it pertains to property maintenance and also to the One and Two Family Dwelling Code. A memorandum prepared by the Council Attorney was then reviewed which further highlighted some of the background to the Code, and possible problem areas. The Council Attorney noted that she had discussed some of the proposed changes with members of the City Attorney's Office, and that many had been agreed upon. Following a discussion of the memorandum and Bill, it was recommended that the Council Attorney meet with Kathy Barnard and Kathy Skiba to prepare a revised version of the Bill. Since the Committee did not have a proper quorum, Chairman Taylor suggested that the meeting be continued until Monday, October 27 , 1980 at 5:45 p.m. where the revised version of Bill No. 124-80 could be reviewed.
