The minutes of the April meeting were approved.
Wendell Williams, Williams Constructions, appeared before the Board
submitting an application for a Class C-1 License and Certificate.
Boardmember Johnson asked Mr. Williams if the work he did was
primarily tenant finish, structural, or ground up. He stated his
work in Denver has primarily been tenant finish because of the
economic market. Boardmember Allison questioned Mr. Williams about
his experience with C-1 work. Mr. Williams stated his firm had
added 500 square feet to a sports facility in Denver and a 10,000
square foot building for an electric company. Boardmember Cotterman
asked if Mr. Williams held the licenses listed on the application.
Mr. Williams stated he did, except one, and that was held by his
father. Boardmember Sinnett moved that Wendell Williams be approved
to test for a C-1 license and certificate. In addition the Board
will require one more C-1 reference before a license will be
issued. Boardmember Cotterman seconded the motion. The motion
passed.
R. Thomas Jordan appeared before the Board submitting an appeal for
a class B license and certificate. Mr. Jordan stated he brought in
one additional reference. Boardmember Sutton stated from the
references received Mr. Jordan had foreman experience, not
management experience and needed management experience to qualify
for a B license. Boardmember Sinnett stated Mr. Jordan was asking
for a contractors license in Fort Collins, yet the references show
no office management. Boardmember Allison stated Mr. Jordan had
experience with single story structures, and one 4 story building
in Cheyenne. Boardmember Cornell asked if Mr. Jordan has experience
running his own business. Mr. Jordan stated he owned his own
business for two years, 1985-1986, and had four employees.
Boardmember Cotterman asked Mr. Jordan if he anticipated B work in
the future in Fort Collins. Mr. Jordan stated he did not, but
wanted to obtain the B license for future work. Boardmember Johnson
questioned Mr. Jordan regarding his work on the Psychiatric
Hospital in Cheyenne. He coordinated the mechanical tradesman.
Boardmember Allison stated he saw no change in the application from
last month. Mr. Jordan asked if his references qualified him for a
Class B Certificate rather than license and certificate.
Boardmember Sutton stated the Board required five references for B
work, and this Board did not have five references for B work, and
no, he would not qualify for a B certificate. Boardmember Sinnett
moved to deny Mr. Jordan a Class B license and certificate.
Boardmember Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed.
Richard Rhea of Universal Constructors submitted an application for
a Class A license. After reviewing the references the Board decided
his references reflected C-2 experience. Boardmember Johnson moved
to approve Richard Rhea for a Class C-2 license and certificate.
The motion was seconded and passed.
Warren Jones from the Poudre Fire Authority appeared before the
Board with information regarding the Hazardous Materials Risk
Reduction Program. Basically he noted two changes, the 1991 UFC,
article 80 and the UBC 1991, chapter 9. The Poudre Fire Authority
is asking for endorsement from the Building Review Board to adopt
these changes. The Board held a discussion with Warren Jones and
Ron Gonzales, Hazard Material Specialist, regarding what changes
will directly affect contractors. Boardmember Sinnett moved to
endorse the changes in the 1991 UBC, chapter 9 and 1991 UFC Article
80. Boardmember Sutton seconded the motion. The motion passed.
A revised contractor's licensing application was distributed to the
Board for their review. It was decided to table this discussion
until next month when Felix Lee would be present. The Board also
would like to invite Paul Eckman, City Attorney, to attend this
meeting and advise the Board with regard to legal issues.
The meeting was adjourned.
Next meeting - June 27, 1991 9:15AM - 281 Conference Room.
