Construction Board of Appeals (CBA)

General Description

This Board considers appeals regarding the requirements, determinations, and decisions made by the city’s building, plumbing, mechanical, electrical and fire inspectors. Also, the board grants variances to elements of the building and fire codes in instances where literal application of the code would result in exceptional practical difficulty. In granting variances, the board may approve alternate materials and methods of installation.

Becoming a Member

Residency Requirements: Code of Ordinances Sec. 9-31 specifies that members must be EITHER residents of the city OR have their offices in the city. (Except for one member who must be a property owner and who must have been a city resident for at least five (5) years.)

Applications: Boards and Commission Applications may be obtained by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (269) 337-8792 or via e-mail. You may also view and print a Board and Commission Application.

Appointment Process: Ultimately the City Commission must approve the appointments of all board and commission members. When the City Clerk's Office receives an application, we send copies to the staff liaison and chair of board(s) listed on the application. The individual boards and commissions must recommend nominees for appointment, and each board has their own processes and procedures for considering applications. The timetable for this process depends on the number of vacancies on a particular board, and the extent of a board's nominating procedure. Questions about the status of a Board and Commission Application should be directed to the staff liaison(s) for the appropriate board(s).
