<br />
<br />Mr. Williams moved that this item be continued to the next regular council meeting.
<br />
<br />The City Manager pointed out that the motion was only to approve the recommendation for the amend-
<br />ment of the Sign Code, and that the purpose could be achieved by withholding a vote on the ordinance
<br />itself.
<br />
<br />, .,
<br />Mr. Williams withdrew his motion.
<br />
<br />A vote was taken on the motion. The motion carried.
<br />

<br />
<br />Mr. Teague moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to,amend the mo~ion to accept the electrical code submitted
<br />by the Electrical Board Electrical Committee.
<br />
<br />Councilman Mohr questioned whether the motion was not a hostile motion, in that, if it. passed, the
<br />original motion would become an,entirely different motion.
<br />
<br />Mr. Teague withdrew the amendment, and moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to accept the Electrical Code
<br />with'state amendments plus the three following amendments: 1. Main disconnect; 2. Spare spaces in
<br />panel; 3. Stub-ins to panel. Mr. Teague also included as part of the amendment that a committee com-
<br />posed of one member of the Electrical Code Committee, one staff member and a representative of the
<br />Council be appointed by the Mayor to consider other possible amendments regarding safety.

<br />Councilman Mohr requested that the motion be separated into two parts and voted upon.
