Florida Bar Board Certified Attorney City, County and Local Government Law Email: keith@davisashtonlaw.com April 11, 2019 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Brennan; Council Members Arena, Brandon, Johnson and Stone Cc: Acting Manager Weinand, Clerk McWilliams Fr: Attorney Davis Re: Amendments to Chapter 14 of the Village Code. The following describes in detail the above referenced agenda item: This ordinance proposes to amend Chapter 14 of the Village's Code of Ordinances by repealing certain local administrative amendments to Chapter 1 of the Florida Building Code. It is the opinion and recommendation of the Building Official that these local amendments are obsolete and should be repealed. The current edition of the Florida Building Code contains the appropriate administrative provisions which the Building Official will utilize. In addition to the above, these amendments are part of the remedial action agreed to by the Village in relation to the recent OIG audit of the Village's sidewalk contract. There is no financial impact to the Village as a result of the adoption of the proposed ordinance. 701 Northpoint Parkway, Suite 205, West Palm Beach, FL 33407 1 p 561-586-7116 1 f 561-586-9611 www.davisashtonlaw.cont * LEADING EXPERTS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAWAND ETHICS * ORDINANCE NO. 14-19 AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA AMENDING CHAPTER 14.
