The five members are appointed by Lexington City Council (3) and Buena Vista City Council (2). Members of the Board shall be selected on the basis of their ability to render fair and competent decisions regarding application of the code, and shall to extent possible, represent different occupational or professional fields relating to building construction or fire prevention. Written records of current membership, including a record of the current chairman and secretary, shall be maintained in the offices of each locality.

Upon receipt, the Secretary will compile the materials and mail them to the parties and the board members for review no less than 10 days calendar days prior to the scheduled hearing.
