Also present: Lonny Wright and Phil Sewell


Gary Highfill made the motion to accept the Oct. 2007 minutes. Second by Frank Rash. Motion carried.

Phil Sewell was present to discuss the ratio of two apprentices to one master or journeyman. Mr. Sewell presented some background information concerning the work force projection in future years. It is Mr. Sewell's concern that the HKVAC and the Plumbing Industry is going to have a hard time meeting these requirements due to the lack of qualified workers on job sites.

Mr. Sewell believed it would be an advantage if we could define "Apprentice" and also define "Laborer". Mr. Sewell requested the Board look into making some changes on the ration requirements.

After much discussion from the Board Members, Carl Hanna made the motion to ask Sharon Dickgrafe research and see about an ordinance change on the ratio of two to one, to three to one for other than residential job sites. Sharon could bring her findings back to the board in December. Second by Ray Frederick. Motion carried.

The Board then discussed Cont. Ed. Requirements and guidelines. Mr. Frederick requested that the cont. ed. Requirements be in the code.

The Board also discussed the guidelines of "rules of procedures" for the Board to follow. Sharon handed out some material for the Board to review.

Frank Rash made the motion that the board follow the guidelines of "policies for board and Procedures" presently used by most city boards. If an item is not covered in this policy then the board would refer back to Roberts Rules of Order. Second by _________.
Motion carried.

Sharon discussed board members attending other meetings and gatherings not pertaining to the actual board meeting. Sharon stated that at any meeting or gathering where three board members are present, they must be careful not to discuss board items or anything that might be represented by the board. Also, that they cannot vote an anything thing that might be coming before the board. Sharon said they can attend these meetings, but just be careful of what you say and do as a board member.  
Sharon stated that a group of three is considered a majority of a moratorium.
