ACTING DIRECTOR'S REPORT

May 16,2018

Chairman Baker & Members of the Construction Industries Commission

Director's Update:

Good Morning! Thank you for the opportunity to report to you today the events

of CID for the months of March and April, 2018.

I'd like to introduce Mary James who will serve as the lead person of allcommission meetings from now to the end of the year. Her responsibilitieswill include coordinating all CIC meetings and public hearings.

Mary James also serves as the front end supervisor of the Santa Fe.

Albuquerque, and Las Cruces office.

Fire code enforcement is often seen simply as conducting inspections, notingviolations, and conducting re-inspections to ensure violations have been

corrected. In its pure and simple form, this is true. However that's not the case.

Contractors, Architects, and fire protection engineers are recently beingburdened with attempted over-enforcement of code requirements by the state

and local fire marshals. The law is clear. The design and construction of new

structures shall comply with the International Building Code which must be

considered prior to Fire Marshall Codes as the International Building Code sets

the standards for construction. Any alterations, additions, changes in use orchanges in structures required, must be compliant with and within the scope ofthe Intemational Building code.

Mr. Chairman, due to the over enforcement actions I have requested a meetingwith the New Mexico State Fire Marshall, and [which] Fire Chief and wouldlike to involve the CIC sub-committee to address fire code requirements and theprocess of the building code requirements.

CID Presentation and Training Alamogordo. NM

General. Mechanical. Electrical & Comnliance

The purpose of this presentation and training was to discuss the code approval processes andto explore more ways to keep each other better informed about industry issues.

Presentations provided by all three bureaus and compliance were well received and therewere plenty of questions?

Concerns unlicensed contracting in the Alamogordo area was a notable topic of discussion.In discussions with Amanda Roybal, Carolyn Hernandez had visited the area a week beforeare visit. There are currently 28 investigations been prosecuted in the area and one of theunlicensed contractors that they were complaining about is currently under investigation. Alot of work goes into these investigations from the moment they start until they are

completed.

There are unlicensed contractors out there I agree. Anyone who can (or can't!) swing a

hammer can claim to be a contractor, but few are licensed to do so. With that said I believe

that Amanda Roybal and her group have done an outstanding job of the enforcement ofunlicensed contracting in New Mexico and her interaction with theses contractors and

presentation in Alamogordo is an example of that. To Amanda and her group I would just

like sayjob well done.
