The letter is self-explanatory. I do not recommend that any action be taken in. regard to this matter. ' I still believe that the • Boards that the Village had previously established are passe ' and do not serve any continued purpose. That is evident by the fact that those Boards have not functioned for several years. In the event we find that we have a problem in the future, we can always adopt an ordinance creating a Board if needed. Very truly yours, JOHN C.

Johnston, Sasser, Randolph & Weaver 310 Okeechobee Boulevard West Palm Beach, Florida 33402 Re: Tequesta Resolution No. 7-84/85 Dear Skip: At the Building Code Advisory Board meeting of April 17, 1985 the Building Code Advisory Board was presented a letter from Tequesta Village manager Robert Harp and a resolution adopted by Tequesta disbanding the Building Board of Appeals, Building Code Review Committee, Housing Board of Appeals, Electrical Code Review Committee, and Housing Code Review Committee of Tequesta, and purportedly "substituting" the functions of the Boards by the Building Code Advisory Board of Palm Beach County. I am not in receipt of the ordinances or resolutions establishing the dissolved Boards. However, from the titles of the Boards, it appears that some serve the function of advising and some serve the function of appeals relating to the various codes of Tequesta. The Building Code Advisory Board of Palm Beach County is a body created by Special Act of the Legislature. Its function, inter alia, is to advise the various building departments, including municipalities, of Palm Beach County. In this capacity, the Board advises and recommends to the cities and County various building related codes and addenda thereto. To the best of my knowledge, it has never undertaken individual counseling and recommendation to ' municipality with respect to their individual adopted codes that are different from those recommended by the Advisory Board. Of course, municipal input is strongly desired by the Board when it is formulating its addenda to the building related codes. Also, the Building Code Advisory Board is available for products approval. Finally, regional inspectors are established in the Special Act to interpret building related code provisions at the request of the building official. However, the Building Code Advisory Board is not empowered to hear appeals from individuals contesting the interpretation of the building official.. Each jurisdiction should have established its own building P.O. BOX 1989 • WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA 33402 ( -9 I. John C. Randolph, Esq. April 30, 1985 Page Two related codes appeals board, or establish such by intergovernmental agreement. Based on the above-discussed matters, should the issue be presented for Building Code Advisory Board action, I would advise the Building Code Advisory Board that its dutiesare spelled out in the Special Act, and that it is not empowered to take upon itself any duties in addition to those set forth. I trust this information is of some assistance to you and the Town. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

DATE: February 26, 1985 � It has come to our attention that the membership on the following Boards: Building Board of Appeals Building Code Review Committee Housing Board of Appeals Electrical Code. Review Committee Housing Code Review Committee has not been reappointed or appointed for some years now, and some of the Boards have lost members through attrition. Some of the members were not local residents but contractors in their specific fields. The Building. Board of Appeals met once many years ago and none of the other Boards have ever met. Further, the Village has for the past several years fallen., under the purview of the State Act which provides for the Building Code advisory Board of Palm Beach County and the Building Official advised that we would use the services of this Board for any matters falling under the above referenced committees since we use the amendments to the various code as adopted for Palm Beach County by the Building Code Advisory Board. It is the Building Official's opinion, and I concur, that since the services of these Boards is practically NIL and if necessary, they can be provided by the Building Code Advisory Board of Palm Beach County, that the above referenced Boards be dissolved and the persons presently named on same be so notified and thanked for the time they were on the Board. This matter should be included on the agenda for tonight's Council Meeting.
