IV. Mora Mi Apartments — Electrical Upgrades — Project Moving Forward
V. Findings of the Legal Aspects of Electrical Plan Review — Kristen Krueger
There's no clear law which indicates the electrical plan review is a critical review verses
documents stamped by professionals.
VI. Final Discussion on Electrical Plan Reviews — Kristen Krueger
Her Findings on the Board Making Recommendations. Per the Ordinance it doesn't say if you
can or can't make a recommendation. As a Board it is in the Board's purview (a group of
professionals) to make a recommendation. The Board directed Kristen Krueger to draft up a
proposal consistent with Board discussion as to electrical plan reviews. Krueger also directed to
seek guidance from State or Attorney General's office. The Board will vote on a proposed
recommendation at the next meeting, with the understanding that in the interim, the City will
seek clarification from Frankfort as to the meaning of construction documents and whether
electrical plan review is a critical review.
VII. Adjourn —Motion made by Rick Windhorst and seconded by Paul King. Motion carried.
