Minutes
The minutes of the May 24, 2007 meeting had been emailed to all members. All members present had viewed the minutes prior to the meeting; Beebe made a motion to accept the minutes Frost seconded the motion, the motion passed unanimously.
Correspondence
Staff circulated a flyer he had received regarding a continuing education opportunity for electrical personnel to be held in Lawrence.
Hardie asked if this training was approved by the City.
Staff responded the company was on the list of accepted continuing education providers.
Hardie questioned if the Johnson County program had been announced or not.
Frost responded the best place to look would be their website. If you are licensed with Johnson County they send you the booklets directly.
Beebe mentioned that his employer was having someone come in for the company and handle the requirements for the employees.
Staff was aware that a mailing regarding the upcoming requirement of CEU’s for the renewal had been mailed as a reminder. He thought once the booklets were available that something would be placed on the Department website.
Unfinished Business
There was no unfinished business.
New Business
Staff provided a brief update on the International Code progress. Staff will be attending an IAEI sponsored training on the 2008 NEC later this month. He hopes this will help in the upcoming review process of the 2008 NEC.
Frost asked if any thought had been given to beginning the review of the 2008 NEC and if the same process would be used as in the past utilizing analysis books and 2008 NEC.
Staff stated he had a brief discussion with Barry Walthall about continuing the trend of keeping current on the most recently published edition of the NEC. It was thought a review could take place during 2008.
The consensus of the Board was to conduct meetings via tele-conference given the lack of business at the present time. All members in attendance provided their available numbers to Staff. Staff will pursue this option within the Department and utilize it for the next scheduled meetings or until such a time that agenda items dictate a regular meeting.
Adjournment
Chairman Frost made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Hardie; motion passed unanimously and meeting was adjourned at 6:25 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Phil Burke
Secretary
