Honorable F. Paul Goodland, Mayor,
And Members of the City Council
Of The City of Ames, Iowa
In Re: Ordinance to Change the Electrical and Plumber' s Licenses
From a One-Year License to a Two-Year License
Dear Mayor Goodland and Council Members:
The Municipal Code currently provides, as it has for many years, that
the electricians' and plumbers' licenses are annual licenses.
I have today been informed by the City Clerk that since 1984 the
practice has been to treat these licenses as if they were two-year
licenses. This practice seems to have been initiated in response and on
the basis of paragraph 2 of an October 30, 1984 memorandum from the Ames
City Clerk to the Electrical and Plumber' s Boards of Examiners.
Attached are copies of the recent memo to me by Nancy Dionigi , and the
October 30 memo of Nancy Gibbons. There is no record of any Council
action on this matter.
If it is the City Council ' s desire to change this license to a two-year
license, something that would seem to be a reasonable measure, the
attached ordinance amending the Municipal Code should be enacted.
Yours truly,l,
John R. Kla S
City Attorney
