that works for everyone. John Page, Jim Dove, and Robert Schreiber all discussed the  
pros and cons of ways to setup meetings. A suggestion was made by Kyle Saunders to  
consider a survey online to get times best fit for each member’s schedule to see what is  
common.  
Mr. Decker at the time of the IECC comments mentioned that the CEC would  
be interested in collaborating again this review in a similar way they did in the past  
review.

basic information of the process and examples of the changes.  
John Neyens asked if a quorum would be necessary at the sub meetings and how that  
is determined. Discussion continued surrounding that of actions taken and just  
discussions occurring at the sub meetings and the requirement for quorum to be present.  
Richard Shanker mentioned the multiple changes that would occur between the 2018 to  
2021 and the 2021 to the 2024 code changes that will need to be considered. Light  
discussion took place and confirmed that the notes of the previous review would be  
helpful during this review.  
Richard Shanker mentioned having Blake McLellan attend the IECC reviews again as well  
as a full BCCC meeting to go over the pros and cons of the changes in the Code. He  
mentioned how helpful of a resource he was and all agreed it was helpful and welcome.

discussed that only BCCC members could vote, but other community interested persons
