TO Louise Whitcome, City Clerk DATESeptember 11, 1970
FROM J. F. Bishop, City Attorney
SUBJECT Proposed amendment to plumbing ordinance
This proposed ordinance amending the plumbing ordinance embodies
several recommendations that have been made to me during the past several
months, including errors in the present Code and to include changes in
fees as recommended by the Council. I will attempt to point out the
changes in each paragraph.
(1) Section 28-1005. 10. The only change in this section is to correct
a printing error in the revision of the Code.
(2) Section 28-1005. 11. The only change here is the addition of
the last sentence which requires connection to a sewer within one year
after it becomes available.
(3) Section 28-1101, 28-1101. 1, 28-1101. 3, and 28-1101. 4. These
are all corrections of errors made in codification.
(4) Section 28-2006. 1. Appeals from decisions of the board of
examiners. This is a new section to provide for an appeal from the board
of plumbing examiners to the City Council. Such a right of appeal is
provided with regard to decisions of the electrical board of examiners ,
and in my opinion should be included in the plumbing code.
(5) Section 28-2007. The only change here is to increase the
fee for an application to take the examination for a journeyman plumber' s
license. The fee is presently $5. 00 and the proposed amendment increases
the fee to $15. 00 as directed by the City Council in the review of the
fee schedule.
(6) Section 28-2011. As recommended, this section would allow
individuals to be reexamined only once without the payment of an additional
examination fee. The present provision permits unlimited reexaminations
without payment of an additional fee.
(7) Section 28-2014. This proposed section merely increases the
license fee to $5. 00 from $2 .00 for a journeyman plumber and from $5. 00
to $10. 00 for a master plumber pursuant to the instructions of the Council
incident to the study of the fee schedule.
(8) Section 28-2020. This is a revision of the existing section
to correct references therein.
