Inc. appeared before the Board with a concern regarding permits being pulled by owner/tenants of commercial buildings. His concern is that a tenant/owner will pull a permit and hire an individual with a jobbers license to do the work. If that is the case, what is the advantage for contractors to be licensed?

Board member Johnson suggested Felix Lee look into the re -writing of the code. Felix agreed to look into the wordage of the code and Sandy Willison agreed to work with Felix on this project.
