DATE: October 5, 1999
SUBJECT: Status of Mechanical Code Revisions
Several months ago, the City Council responded to a request from the Mechanical Code Board
of Appeals and directed staff to draft an ordinance to initiate the licensing of mechanical
contractors. Completion of this ordinance has taken longer than we anticipated due to the
reasons described in the attached memo from Jeff Pearson. Our present intention is to work
through this ordinance draft with the Mechanical Code Board and to bring a recommendation
back to you next month.
Please call me with any questions.

DATE: September 28, 1999
SUBJECT: Mechanical Licensing
A few months ago the mechanical code board of appeals recommended a plan to initiate licensing for mechanical
contractors. The City Council authorized the city attorney to draft an ordinance. The city attorney drafted our
ordinance, which was quite different from what the mechanical board recommended. I agreed to try to mix the draft
language with the mechanical boards request and report back to Mr. Klaus. Unfortunately, this fell at a very
inopportune time when our office was stretched to the limit because of the amount of workload and the inspection
division being short on staff. I will be working on this proposal within the next several weeks.
