Old Business:.President Berger discussed the request from Scott Cope to talk more about the new Commercial Energy Code at this meeting. There is a Commercial Energy Code Class on

March 9th, 2018, in Sterling Heights from 9am to 1pm. This may need to be a topic discussed again at a future meeting.

President Berger also indicated that he was able to get our 2018 education voucher from ICC re-instated after many phone calls to ICC. The membership thanked President Berger for his work to get this done. The voucher will be given to Larry Butler to get a class scheduled. President Berger also stated that it is the out-going presidents’ job to get this scheduled for the next year.

Tim Hollis indicated that all the jurisdictions that signed up for MADCAD should have received their log in email from MADCAD to create passwords. Also, if member jurisdictions would like to have a webinar for their staff by Erdem Dedebas of MADCAD, he is willing to do that. He can be contacted at ededebas@madcad.com.

Tim Hollis also indicated that the spreadsheet that was emailed to the membership with the Interlocal agreement information has updated information for current members. There have been a couple corrections made since it was sent out and that list will be re-sent after it is determined if any other changes from the members need to be made. This spread sheet is NOT for public information as it has personal phone numbers, etc. on it.

New Business:

There was discussion regarding electronic plan reviews. Dave Goodloe from Orion Twp. has purchased the plan review table and they are learning how to use it. There was also some discussion about the “Blue Beam” software used with the table.
