We would like to acknowledge that the City and Borough of Juneau is on Tlingit land and wish to honor the indigenous people of this land. For more than ten thousand years, Alaska Native people have been and continue to be integral to the well-being of our community. We are grateful to be in this place, a part of this community, and to honor the culture, traditions, and resilience of the Tlingit people. Gunalchéesh!
Per CBJ Code 19.02.010.1; the Building Code Board of Appeals consists of seven members who are qualified by experience or training in matters pertaining to building construction. One member of the board of appeals shall be an architect, one member an engineer, one member an attorney, one member a general contractor, one member a mechanical contractor, one member an electrical contractor and one public member. Members of the board of appeals shall be decision is being challenged; the last meeting of the board was in June 2015. All boards seats are currently up for reappointment or past reappointment. After reaching out to members we have three that have agreed to be considered for reappointment.
The Clerk's Office will continue to reach out to other members of the board to see if they wish to continue on the board and will also continue community outreach to fill any vacancies on the board.
Suggested Motion:
to forward to the full Assembly for action, the reappointments of Bradley Austin, Jeffrey Wilson and Darrell Wetherall to the Building Code Board of Appeals both for terms beginning immediately and ending August 31, 2026 an ask for unanimous consent.
As of Mid-February the Clerk's Office/CBJ transitioned from the Granicus Board Management Program and online application form to the Board Program hosted by Municode (CBJ's Agenda Management Program).
Staff Request:
Clerk staff request HRC committee members review the current board application in the HRC packet and recommend any additions or edits they would like to see on the application. The general application is used for all Advisory and Empowered Boards; so thiniking about what information the committee considers important to see on the application to help during the appointment process would be helpful. The HRC Committee will still have the advanced interview questions as a tool for the Empowered Boards and Systemic Racism Review Committee (SRRC) to help gather specific attributes an applicant may have as it relates to those boards.
The Clerk's Office requests the HRC review advisory boards and committees that have not met since 2020 due to membership and/or lack of agenda topics and need. This request does not currently include appeal boards that meet only as needed when a sales tax or building code appeal has been submitted, however those boards also face membership issues. If the committee would like to a look at potential sunsets or reduction in membership for struggling boards Clerk staff can pull more information together for discussion at one of the April HRC meetings.
