Board of Construction Appeals Meeting

The board discussed the integration of the Health and Safety Standards Board into the Board of Construction Appeals. Key topics included the board's new responsibilities regarding code interpretations, appeals of adequate facility taxes, and the adjudication of code violations such as dilapidated buildings, junk cars, and property maintenance issues. Members reviewed the due process procedures, the quasi-judicial nature of their role in applying law to facts, and the burden of proof required to establish violations.
