~ TACOMA, Wash. - The City of Tacoma is currently seeking applicants for two open positions on the Board of Building Appeals. This quasi-judicial board is responsible for reviewing and providing recommendations to the City Council on proposed changes to the city's building, mechanical, plumbing, fire, dangerous building, minimum housing, and energy codes.

The Board of Building Appeals is comprised of seven members who are recommended by the Infrastructure, Planning, and Sustainability Committee and appointed by the City Council. These members play a crucial role in ensuring that the city's building codes are up-to-date and in compliance with safety standards.

In addition to reviewing proposed changes to building codes, members of the Board of Building Appeals also hold hearings and make decisions on appeals related to orders or determinations made by the Building Official or Fire Chief. This includes appeals regarding the application and interpretation of building, mechanical, plumbing, fire, and energy codes. The board also hears appeals related to orders or decisions made by the Hearing Officer for dangerous building or minimum housing codes.

Those who are appointed to these positions will be required to complete training on Open Public Meetings Act and Public Records Act within 90 days of their appointment. This training will be provided by the Washington State Office of the Attorney General.
