~- Commissioner Wright asked Mr. Salmon for further clarification as how and who handled the pavilion construction. Mr. Salmon stated he paid the spa compan for the pavilion on top of the decking, but hired Mr. Jerez to make sure that everything as done in proper order. He agreed with Commissioner Wright that it was Mr. Jerez's responsibility to install the deck and to make sure that a permit was obtained for the deck an pavilion. Mr. Jerez came to the podium. Commissioner Finch asked Mr. Jerez if he is a licensed contractor, d whether he is licensed to construct buildings and if he has a B-1 license. Mr. Jere responded that he is a licensed contractor and a landscape designer; he did not have a B-1 1 cense to construct buildings. Mr. Jerez said he has a license to landscape which includ s the installation of decking. Mr. Jerez went on to say that in the last months he has been accused of many things by the City and by other people. He felt that just because his sign might b up on the premises or on his truck that he is responsible for the construction. He felt that j st because his use of English was not the best did not mean anything; he also felt that just because he had moved to Blackhawk that people did not like it. ~ In response to Commissioner Finch's questioning, Mr. Jerez said he as hired by Mr. Salmon to supervise the entire project. Mr. Jerez stated that he had nstructed the contractor who actually did the construction to get the permit, which he though he had done. He further responded to questioning and stated that he instructed his sub ntractor to go to the Planning Department with plans for the deck, pavilion and the land aping and that he thought it had been approved. However, he stated he did not actual see the permit. Mr. Beougher stated that the City Attorney and the Planning Depart ent had reported Mr. Jerez to the State Licensing Contractor's Board. They had received a letter stating that after preliminary review Mr. Jerez was in violation of Code 7110, which is performing work without proper permits from the City. He has been reported to the tate Licensing Board and they are dealing with Mr. Jerez. Commissioner Finch pointed out to Mr. Jerez that it was his respon bility to make sure his subcontractor actually got the permit; Mr. Jerez agreed that it was h s responsibility and apologized. Chairman Hovingh stated that the issue tonight is not whether Mr. J rez has a license or not, but whether the pavilion should remain. Mr. Beougher agreed this as true and that the State Board is dealing with Mr. Jerez. .~ Planning Commission Minutes September 23, 1992 Page 5
