Our first item of business is the public forum.

Are there any members of the public that wish to speak on matters other than items that are on the agenda today?

Those that wish to speak on a specific agenda item will be provided with an opportunity to do so at this time.

Members wishing to speak shall state their name and address for their record.

So are there anybody who wants to speak on items other than agenda items?

Come on up, please.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Um is Paul Deffenbaugh, address 1508, Maple Knoll Court in Naperville.

And today I'm representing the Naperville Environment and Sustainability Task Force, or NEST.

And at last meet last month's BRB meeting, Nest introduced the topic of Naperville adopting the Illinois Stretch Energy Code, and today I'd like to continue that conversation.

For background, in 2021, the state adopted the Climate Equitable Jobs Act CEGA, which included a provision to create a statewide energy code, and this became the Illinois Stretch Energy Code and became available for municipalities to adopt about a year ago in June 2024.

A couple of notes about the stretch code.

And it offers three compliance pathways, the prescriptive path, energy rating index, and the performance pathway.

Minnesota, Colorado, and Massachusetts have also adopted stretch codes, and here in Illinois, City of Evanston has recently adopted it.

Adopting the stretch code would put Naperville on a path to increasing energy efficiency in buildings and homes and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.

It will safeguard buildings from extreme weather, improve indoor air quality, future-proof new buildings, and ultimately save our residents' residents and businesses money on their utility bills.

Because this is so significant, NEST would like to have the opportunity to organize a full presentation on the stretch code at another meeting so that you'll be able to hear more in-depth information about the code and ask questions.

We'll work with staff with Mark to do it.

This at a future meeting of the BRB, and of course, we're always available to answer any questions.

And I believe that Mark has distributed an FAQ sheet to you that you can refer to now.

But thank you very much.

Talk to you later.

Thank you.

Anybody else for the public forum today?

All right.

Hearing none, we'll get to reports and recommendations.

This afternoon we have two items to consider.

First is the approval of the meeting minutes from the last building review board meeting.

Do any of the commissioners have any corrections or clarifications on the April 24th, 2025 meeting minutes as drafted?

Okay.

Hearing none, uh like to go for a voice vote.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Okay, none opposed, so that gets uh approved.

The second item of business today is the continuation of April 21st or April 24th, 2025 BRB agenda item, considering a variance to Section 5-1E-2, subsection two of the Naperville Municipal Code, prohibition of PCVC P C P V C and PECS for domestic water supply piping.

BRB case number 112.
