r- <br />APR <br />7 19 7 <br />BOOK b PAGE <br />8 <br />DISCUSSION <br />OF MEETING WITH CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT INDUSTRIES <br />COUNCIL <br />Chairman Scurlock informed the Board that Cliff Reuter of <br />the building industry asked him to attend a meeting with Mr. <br />Balczun and our Planning staff in regard to the changes in the <br />Building Department. That meeting was held, and he tried to <br />explain the Commission's position, which was that Mr. Balczun was <br />paid a good amount of money to administer the county; he was <br />given a mandate to streamline the building -planning process so <br />the problems we have had would be corrected; and at this point <br />the Commission unanimously supported his attempt to do the <br />reorganization. Mr. Balczun then answered questions in terms of <br />what his reasonings were.

The Chairman noted that he <br />does not particularly need another committee assignment, but Mr. <br />Reuter and Nancy Offutt and the group asked him to participate. <br />They came up with an indication to meet about every six weeks, <br />and Director Keating has set the first meeting with a published <br />agenda for Wednesday, May 13th with the CIMC, which is a coali- <br />tion of the construction industry, realtors, etc. <br />Commissioner Eggert wondered if this possibly wasn't <br />something that should be kept functioning at a staff level or <br />whether the Chairman truly wanted to keep it at a Commission <br />level. <br />Nancy Offutt advised that she is not the official spokesman <br />for the CIMC any more., but explained that the Construction <br />Industry Management Council is a coalition of the American <br />Institute of Architects, the Treasure Coast Home Builders <br />Association, the Board of Realtors, and associated general <br />contractors.
