Items Not Previously Heard High Level Street Lights at 14th from Patterson to High - City Manager requested councilmen to e d~i.ve to this area and observe the effect of the present street lighting system. EWEB had installed veryhhigh level street lights which gave very good lighting in the area at night. These were installed on a test basis, and a poll made of residents of the area. Th e survey indicated a positive reaction to the lights. After Council has toured the area, EWEB will be requested to turn the lights on again so that Council can see the contrast, and if Council wishes, cost estimates can be prepared of these lights against standard lighting. ORDINANCES I" Ordinances have been prepared to adopt the latest uniform codes for electrical, mechanical, housing and building. The one involving building codes includes adoption of a new supplemental building code concerned with single and two family residential dwellings. These have been brought without previous consideration as the result of information that the City's workable program cannot be recertified unless the codes are updated. If this were to happen, further funds would be unavailable for urban renewal projects and other programs. The codes have been dis cussed with staff ,and because of the urgency of a recertified workable program, staff has worked diligently to get the ordinances ready for consideration at this meeting. Amendments, if required, can be made at a later date. In answer to Mr. Mohr, Manager explained that the ordinance regarding electrical code would update the code to include the national code with no local amendments. He explained that staff had requested guidelines from the federal agency sometime ago, but had only recently received a response. It was determined at that time that codes could no longer be accepted with local amendments. Councilman Teague asked if there were any substantial changes in any of the other ordinances. Building Superintendent said they' were updated but the electrical industry was aware of the changes and that changes in the model code are made available to the industry. I Mrs. Beal asked how much these changes would raise the cost of housing. Mr. Mortier responded that, ;, " in his opin~on, any cost change would be lower.
