EXHIBIT "A"
That Chapter 3, "Building Regulations", Section 1, "Standard Administrative Code", of the Code
of Ordinances of the City of College Station, Texas, is hereby amended, by changing subsection
(A)(2) "Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals" as set out hereafter to read as follows:
"2. Membership and Term of Appointment
(a)
Membership. The Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall consist
of five (5) members appointed by City Council. The Board shall be composed of
individuals with knowledge and experience in the Technical Codes, such as
design professionals, contractors or building industry representatives. In addition
to the regular members, the City Council may appoint up to four (4) alternate
members. A Board member shall not act in a case in which he has any conflict of
interest.
(b)
Terms. Two (2) members of the Board and the Chairman shall initially be
appointed to serve a two-year term. The remaining two members of the Board
shall initially be appointed to serve a one-year term. Subsequent appointments to
the Board shall be for two-year terms, in order to stagger the terms of office of the
Board Members so that only a portion of the Board is appointed or replaced in
any 12-month period. Alternates shall serve for the same period as regular
members. The alternates shall serve in the absence of one or more of the regular
members. Vacancies shall be filled for an unexpired term. Continued absence of
any member from required meetings of the Board shall, at the discretion of the
governing body of the City, render any such member subject to immediate
removal from office.
(c)
Quorum and Voting. All cases heard by the Board shall be heard by at least four
(4) members. The concurring vote of four (4) members of the Board is necessary
to take any action. In the event that regular members are unable to attend a
meeting, the alternate members shall vote.
(d)
Secretary_ of Board. The Building Official shall appoint a Secretary to record
minutes of the meetings of the Board and to make a detailed record of all of its
proceedings, which shall set forth the reasons for its decision, the vote of each
member, the absence of a member and any failure of a member to vote."
