show, since a quorum is needed for the meeting to take place. He stated that if no other Board
members show within this agreed upon time, the meeting will be adjourned.
Board members Brown and Fisher voted to wait until 1:20pm.
Brown requested clarification on the Code regarding the appellant may appear either in person, in
writing, or by agent and asked if the Board is required to conduct the appeal when the appellant
does not show.

any other even if the appellant is not present.

Brown asked how the 1994 codes compare with the new 1997 UBC in regards to the appeal
request. He asked if the 1997 is more lax than either the 1991 or 1994.
Lee stated that the 1997 codes are totaly different since that chapter has been rewritten. He
commented that the 1997 codes are more relaxed, in regards to the appeal request, than our local
codes.
Lee informed the Board that Board member Meleski will be out of town for about 30 days and
not able to attend BRB until October 1997.
Lee responded to a question regarding attendance requirements for Board members and stated the
the policy is as follows: three consecutive absences from regularly scheduled meetings of the
Board not approved by the Chairperson, or four absences not approved by the Chairperson in any
calendar year, may automatically cause the member's appointment to be terminated. He
commented that basically it is a Board decision.
Cotterman adjourned the meeting at 1:20pm due to failure of Board to provide a quorum.
