Old Business: Mel Ott reported to the Board that Clark Trombley Randers, Consulting Engineers requested a Variance regarding the corrections being made to the Electrical Switch Gear at Ingham Regional Medical Center, Greenlawn Campus. The request was to leave the Orange-Yellow Bus as is and not provide the required GFI protection as provided for in Article 517-17 of the N.E.C. Since the Orange System supplies the Equipment Branch and not the Critical Branch I granted the hospital the variance. The Board agreed. New Business: Mel Ott asked the Board's opinion on the location of a required Emergency Shutoff Switch for a Spa in a Fitness Center. The Executive Development Center at 3535 Forest Road has 2 Spas and the Emergency Switch is located only 3ft away from the Spa. The Code requires a distance of at least 5ft and in sight of the Spa. After reviewing the Code the Board could find no exceptions to the rule, therefore, the Emergency Shutoff Switches must be relocated to the 5ft distance as per Article 517-17. Rowland Cornish III asked could an Electrical Service Panel be installed in a bedroom? The only room a Service Panel cannot be in is a bathroom or a clothes closet. Installing an Electrical Panel in a bedroom is not a Violation. The Board also reviewed the International Property Maintenance Code.
