ICCA: John Edwards attended ICCA meeting in Springfield. Said that he had been informed that the $800 membership check we had mailed could be voided and a new one needed to be sent. John noted that in their discussions at the meeting it had been decided that all organization would pay the same amount to support ICCA. ICCA had also decided to meet only every other month. John noted that he did not agree with this decision due to slow action meeting every other month. ICCA voted on a $1500 hospitality room at their next meeting and it was approved. ICCA agreed that people should be certified with in five years in the new revision of the code. John noted that the new code would be listed online. John said that code section NFPA-1 was wanted by the fire inspectors of ICCA. However, maintenance inspectors did not want this as a part of the new code.

Lobbyist: John Edwards said it was then discussed if Margaret, the current lobbyist, should stay in place. John noted that the goal of ICCA should be to pass the state code. Others discussed starting training programs. John stated that ICC does not represent IACE’s views and that IACE needs to remain intact. ICCA will continue to meet once a month this year until going to every other month next year. Bill Donovan stated that he did agree with having a lobbyist that agreed with our point of view. John went on to say that Margaret outlined things she had done for ICCA including tax support. Bob Roels asked where the current ICCA proposal was. John said that it was currently in House Resolution 425 which could be viewed online.

15th Anniversary: Bill Donovan provided some options for items to be presented to past presidents. Discussion will be carried to July.

New Business:

July Training: Bob Roels noted Marty Collins required an overhead projector. Debbie Carrion said that ECC said that set up for this would not be a problem. Bob asked if IACE should present anything to Marty for retiring? Bob and Bill will forward with price. Bob will continue to look for September speakers. Bill Donovan suggested Doug Campbell. Terry Matusek thought a speaker on foreclosures would be helpful.
