Home My WebLink AboutR-1977-201 �1 RESOLUTION NO. 201 A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE OBJECTION OF THE CITY OF DANIA TO RECEi11T AMENDMENTS TO THE SOUTH FLORIDA BUILDING CODE BY THE BROWARD COUNTY BOARD OF RULES AND APPEALS REQUIRING CERTAIN BUILDING INSPECTORS HAVING LESS THAN FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH A BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO TAKE AN EXAMINATION IN ORDER TO BE RECERTIFIED; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals has amended Section 201 of the South Florida Building Code to require re- certification of building officials and inspectors ; and WHEREAS , said amendments provide that building inspectors not having five years continuous experience with a building depart- ment must take an examination in order to be recertified even though such inspectors may hold current Certificates of Competency in their particular category , and have been previously certified by the Board of Rules and Appeals ; and WHEREAS , while the City of Dania is in favor of any reason- able measures which the Board of Rules and Appeals may take to en- sure the competency of building inspectors , the City Commission is unaware of any trade or profession in which a practioner once certi- fied as competent and who has practiced the trade or profession con- tinuously since certification must take periodic re-examinatiois in -. order to remain licensed to practice the trade or profession; and WHEREAS, certain building inspectors employed by the City of Dania for periods of time ranging from have current Certificates of Competency in their particular trades , have been previously certified by the Board of Rules and Appeals , and have demonstrated their competency to the satisfaction of the City Building Official, but must now be subjected to an examination pursuant to the amended building code because said inspectors do not have five years continuous experience with the City Building Depart- ,. � J -1- ment ; and WHEREAS , the City Commission of the City of Dania is of the opinion that the requirement of five years continuous experience with a building department is arbitrary and capricious and bears no reasonable relationship to the question of the competency of a build- ing inspector who holds a current Certificate of Competency, has previously been certified by the Board of Rules and Appeals and has performed his duties in a satisfactory manner during his entire term of employment with the City; and WHEREAS , the City Commission of the City of Dania there- fore strongly feels that its ' building inspectors who have current Certificates of Competency in their trades , have previously been certified by the Board of Rules and Appeals , and have demonstrated their competency throughout their periods of employment with the City, should not be required to take an examination in order to be lwn re-certified simply because the period of employment of certain in- spectors falls short of the arbitrary five year period , now, therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DANIA, FLORIDA: A..4� Section 1. That the City Commission of the City of Dania hereby expresses the objection of the City of Dania to those pro- visions of '.:he recent amendments to Section 201 of the South Florida Building Code which require building inspectors holding current Cer- tificates of Competency and who have previously been certified by the Board of Rules and Appeals to be re-certified and to take an ex- amination as a condition precedent to such re-certification if said inspectors have less than five years continuous experience with a building department . Section 2 . That the City Commission of the City of Dania t respectfully urges the Board of Rules and Appeals to reconsider the recent amendments to Section 201 of the South Florida Building Code pertaining to re-certification, and , if upon such reconsideration the Board still feels that re-certification is necessary, that the Board consider reducing the continuous employment requirement for recerti- fication without an examination from the arbitrary figure of five years to a more realistic requirement of one year . Section 3 . That the City Clerk is hereby directed to dis- tribute copies of this resolution to the Broward County Board of Rules and Appeals and the Broward League of Cities. Section 4. This resolution shall become effective upon passage. PASSED and ADOPTED this day of i 1977 . t� wn Mayor-Commissioner ATTEST : City Clerk-Auditor APPROVED FOR y r?:Ri2ECTIVENESS -3- L� , <+e'i, '.
