Adoption of the Englewood Housing Code in Addition to the Rehab Code. -2-• EHA BOC Regular Meeting 02/24/88 • NOTE: During the Study Session preceding the Regular Meeting of the EHA Board of co .. issioners held February 24, 1988, Robb Short, Rehab Supervisor gave a detailed explanation of the reasons the Englewood Housing Code should be recognized along with the Rehab Code. Nr. Short informed th• Co .. issioners that the Rehab Code had been in use since 1979. He stated that in recent years, with the changing of adainistration in the Building and Safety Division, the Rehab Code had generally not been used in favor of the Housing Code and the U.B.C. This had caused soae problems with consistency bettteen the Rehab staff, who write specifications for the projects and the Building Division who review and inspect the projects. It was the recoaaendation of the staff that the Housing Code be recognized in addition to the Rehab Code since both codes serve a purpose and would not hamper efforts to provide rehab and repair. IT WAS MOVED BY GARY L. KOZACEK TO RECOGNIZE THE ENGLEWCXJD HOUSING CODE IN ADDITION TO THE REHAB CODE.
