SUBJECT. ORDINANCE NO. 560
COMBINING THE OFFICES OF PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL
INSPECTOR
DATE: October 28, 1997
Currently, the offices of Plumbing Inspector and Electrical Inspector for the City of Owasso
are required to be separate offices as defined by the Code of Ordinances of the City of
Owasso. Under the provisions of 59 O.S. Section 1016, any city or town in Oklahoma with
a population in excess of 4,000, but not exceeding 30,000, may create an office which
combines the powers and duties of the Plumbing Inspector and Electrical Inspector.
Mr. Gary Orr, the City of Owasso Building Inspector, is currently licensed to inspect all
facets of construction with the exception of electrical inspections. In lieu of Mr. Orr
performing electrical inspections, the City previously utilized Mr. Knebel and Mr. McCord
(Mr. Knebel was utilized for all Commercial Electrical Inspections, while Mr. McCord was
utilized for Residential Electrical Inspections). With the resignation of Mr. Knebel, the city
has recently contracted with Mr. Burr Kannady to perform Commercial Electrical
Inspections.
If the offices of Plumbing Inspector and Electrical Inspector were to be combined as outlined
above, Mr. Orr would then have the ability to perform all facets of Electrical Inspections
through the utilization of a provisional license. A provisional license would provide Mr. Orr
with a two year time frame in which to obtain the required Electrical Inspector's License,
and legally allow for Mr. Orr to perform those inspections in the interim.
Ordinance No. 560 would officially combine those offices and duties, thus allowing Mr. Orr
to perform electrical inspections by obtaining a provisional license. Please note, however,
that while Mr. Orr is more than confident in his abilities to perform residential electrical
inspections, his knowledge of commercial electrical inspections is limited. Mr. Kannady
would still be utilized to perform commercial electrical inspections until Mr. Orr obtained the
required Commercial Electrical License.
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 560, thus combining the offices of Plumbing
Inspector and Electrical Inspector.
