amendment. In response to Commissioner Vaad, Mr. Barker stated Sections 29-2-90.B.6.a through 6.g
will be stricken because the manufacturers set forth the requirements for anchors and ties. Commissioner
Jerke commented that although most of the issues included in this revision are non-controversial, he is
concerned with so much unrelated content being listed under one code revision. He suggested a work
session be scheduled to allow the Board to review the changes in detail. Mr. Barker stated the various
items were compiled throughout the year and were combined to economize on publishing costs.
Commissioner Masden concurred and stated that although he realizes this process saves money,he would
like to consider the individual items separately in the future, and in this case, he would like a schedule a
work session to review the various items in detail. Mr.Warden stated there are two supplements each year
and this combines various housekeeping matters. Commissioner Vaad commented a work session to
discuss the content would allow staff to continue compiling the items while informing the Board of all the

motion was seconded by Commissioner Vaad, and it carried unanimously.
