d. Consideration of EMERGENCY ORDINANCE 2011-04 to repeal exceptions to the building code: The board discussed the need to require building permits for roofing, windows, and siding. The consensus of the board was to make this change since there is no longer a requirement for a contractor’s license to protect homeowners, and future homeowners purchasing property within the town. Motion was made by Trustee Tyler, seconded by Trustee Baumgartner to adopt Emergency ORDINANCE 2011-07 with a change to Section 1 to amend Section 18-1-20(b), by the deletion of subsection (6), with subsequent subsections to be renumbered; a roll call vote was taken. The motion carries 6-0 Mayor Kipp, Trustees Baumgartner, Brandt, Traxler, Tyler, and Beach voting yes.
e. Statement of support for rezoning of Lost Creek Commons: The board felt that this letter of support may help to make Lost Creek Commons more marketable to potential buyers. Motion was made by Trustee Tyler, seconded by Trustee Traxler to officially distribute this letter of support for rezoning issues within town; motion carried 6-0, Mayor Kipp, Trustees Baumgartner, Brandt, Traxler, Beach and Tyler voting yes.
f. Discuss Search for Contract Planner—Update: The town clerk updated the board in regards to the search for a planner. An official RFP was not published due to the fact that a lot of research must be done for a planner to give the town a bid to update the comprehensive plan. In the interest of time, two additional planners have been contacted for rates, and interviews will be scheduled with the Mayor and town clerk to be held sometime in early July. At that point a recommendation will be made to both the planning commission and the Board of Trustees in regard to contracting with a planner for any development work within the town, and eventually have the comprehensive plan updated.
