Bill Packard, Briesch Engineering, presented the Code Review (Plumbing, Building,
Electrical and Housing). these provide for inspectors, records, permits, fees,
condemnations, licensing (Elec.) and appeals. He proposed a Code Enforcement
organization. Some alternatives to the codes presented would be to work in some
way with Tulsa County for the electrical inspections and the Tulsa County Health
Department could do housing inspections, except for the appeals. He outlined steps
to be taken for code adoption. One code, which was not included, a Fire Prevention
Code, could be adopted. Mr. Packard explained the codes as presented are acceptable
to Housing -Urban Development (HUD) and would speed up action on "workable program"
phase of city planning. Mr. Spradling tecommended the commission begin studying
these codes in order that we know exactly what we will be recommending. john Groth
will send for codes we don't have copies of and Mr. Spradling left three with the
