BIC appoints three to Board of Examiners, fills Code Advisory and reappoints Access Appeals members

The Building Inspection Commission on Nov. 16 approved multiple appointments and reappointments for advisory bodies.

Nominations subcommittee members presented three candidates for the Board of Examiners: Daniel Sullivan for the building‑owner representative seat, Randy Collins for a licensed structural‑engineer seat, and David Cain for the licensed structural‑engineer seat specializing in seismic improvements. The commission voted unanimously to appoint the three candidates; each took the oath of office on the record.

The commission also recommended and unanimously approved John Tostanovsky for a mechanical‑engineer/contractor seat on the Code Advisory Committee; Tostanovsky repeated the oath at the meeting. Separately, Kevin Birmingham and Arnie Lerner were recommended for reappointment to the five‑member Access Appeals Commission; both were reappointed unanimously and repeated the oath.

Commissioners encouraged continued outreach to fill remaining vacancies on advisory bodies and thanked new appointees for attending in person to be sworn in.

Next steps: Appointees will assume duties on their respective committees and DBI staff will continue recruitment to fill outstanding vacancies.
