A group of building inspectors was first formed in Central Missouri around 1975 by a group of six cities in that region. The archives contain a Resolution, dated December 7, 1978, that states, “Be it resolved that the Central Missouri Association of Code Administrators make application to become a Charter Chapter member of BOCA, with all privileges that are accorded under this status”. In minutes from a meeting on March 27, 1979, officials from six cities met in Mexico Missouri and discussed the proposed by-laws for the new organization. “This organization will be [the] basis for the exchange of information between inspectors and an educational tool for those in the code enforcement field”. It was co-signed by A.E. Cameron of Rolla, and Dianna P. Moore of Mexico. A copy of the original Constitution and by-laws, with “Central Missouri Association of Code Administrators” on them, dated March 14, 1979 are in the archives of the Association.
Minutes of a meeting on April 11, 1979, was attended by inspectors from 9 different central Missouri cities. They were Frank Hazelrigg, Fulton; Lloyd Stiers, Fulton; Gene Guy, Hannibal; Alden Adam, Boonville; James R. Brannon, Jeff City; Thomas H. Benton, Jeff City; Kenneth M. DeVictor, Columbia; Harry Morse, Rolla; Suellen Barnet, Mexico; Tom Herron, Mexico; Harvey Cooper, Springfield; Jim Weber, Jeff City; Steve Beck, Rolla; Dianna P. Moore, Mexico; Tom Young, Centralia; A. E. “Duke” Cameron, Rolla, and William Oliver, Rolla. The minutes indicate that the Constitution and by-laws were revised for the Missouri Association of Code Administrators. A motion was made by Mr. Tom Young, and seconded by “Duke” Cameron, to adopt the by-laws, as revised, at this meeting. It was approved by a unanimous vote in favor. A copy of that original Constitution and by-laws, dated April 11, 1979, are also in archives.
