The City of Portland seeks three people to each serve a three-year term on the Plumbing Code Board of Appeal. Persons of color are encouraged to apply. Applications are due no later than Sunday, April 21.
Are you an experienced plumber or plumbing designer interested in ensuring the plumbing in Portland’s buildings is safe? Are you passionate about learning more about construction proposals and advising on creative approaches to meet plumbing code requirements? If so, the City of Portland could benefit from your talents and passion.
Purpose of the Plumbing Code Board of Appeal
The Plumbing Code Board of Appeals is a three-person advisory body that reviews appeals from plumbing contractors who disagree with decisions made by City building officials to ensure a construction plan’s conformance with the City’s Plumbing Code. The board meets with appellants and City building officials to discuss ideas and concerns with proposed plumbing plans. The board issues rulings on whether to uphold the decisions of City building officials or allow an initial proposal to proceed as-is or with minor changes.
To be eligible for the advisory committee, members must live, play, worship, go to school, work or do business in the City of Portland.
There are three member positions and one alternate on the board. Board membership consists of one licensed plumbing contractor whose experience and training qualify them to decide matters concerning the safety of installations and devices regulated by the City of Portland’s Plumbing Regulations (Title 25), one member who is a person engaged in the design of plumbing installations and devices regulated by City Plumbing Regulations, and one person who is a member of the public-at-large. Alternates may be called on to serve in absence of a regular member.
The City of Portland is currently recruiting for two regular positions and one alternate position.
