From The Desk of The President....
Dear ICC Los Angeles Basin Chapter (LABC) Members and Stakeholders,
During the first chapter meeting on March 14th, we discussed that this will be a very busy year for the Chapter and our individual jurisdictions, being that we have to adopt new codes on January 1, 2014. Having said that, we want to encourage everyone to stay engaged with the chapter so we can help each other, as much as possible with this process. As I have stated before, we are very grateful for all the work our committee chairs and committee members have done on updating our local amendments. Being that this process is still not 100% complete, we encourage everyone to participate and help complete the local amendments. Once the amendments are completed, our committees will then continue their work by updating our correction sheets. The correction sheets will be essential in the implementation and enforcement of the new codes starting January 1, 2014.
Again, we hope that by working together we can help each other through this rigorous process and by doing so; we can also maintain consistency in enforcement of the codes throughout our region.
Other things we are also working on are as follows:
A new “Training Calendar” link has been added to our website. We have put together this calendar to continue the effort to work together, share information and resources. The calendar shows available technical and non-technical training in various jurisdictions in our region. By sharing resources, training will now be expanded and made available to other jurisdictions in the region and to LA Basin Chapter members and not just to staff within the jurisdiction providing the training. Priority for training will be given to LA Basin Chapter dues paying members, but we will also make an effort to expand this to other jurisdictions and other Chapters in our region. The calendar can be accessed by clicking on this link “Training Calendar”, but can also be accessed through our Main (Home) page aticclabc.org.
Some examples of the non-technical training available are as follows:
- How to Supervise People
- Managing Multiple priorities, Projects and Deadlines
- Mistake-Free Grammar and Proofreading
The Training Calendar is in its beginning stages and will continue to be enhanced. However, until this process is completely enhanced, and unless a contact person is specified on the specific class, please contact me to reserve any class scheduled on the calendar. My contact information is as follows: e-mail is president@icclabc.org and my phone number is 213-482-0409.
Also, I would like to remind you that if you are planning a training program/class, please consider sharing with other jurisdictions within our chapter and our region. The board and I will be more than happy to help coordinate an alternate location or facility, if necessary, to accommodate additional participation.
Another basic concept we are trying to develop this year is the “Best Management Practice” program. With this program, we hope to be able to share new and /or innovative programs in plan check, inspection, code enforcement or other programs within our individual building departments. A special thanks to the jurisdictions who have participated in the initial meetings related to this process and their willingness to share their new programs with other jurisdictions in our region. For other jurisdictions interested in participating and wishing to learn more about this program, please contact me for more information.
Please stay engaged with the chapter, we have a lot of work to do and there is a lot we can still learn and definitely share with each other.
