,1 November 17, 1964 - Page 2 Mr. Labas also reported his report on the sanitary sewer inspectionprogram is complete and copies of it will be sent to the Mayor the end of the week. The Engineer requested the Legislative Committee to consider an ordinance which would require that all construction in the City be done in accordance with approved plans. Under present laws it is cumbersome to impose compliance with approved plans, and the only way to stop a job is to remove the inspector from the site and then the contractor can be cited for constructing improvements not in the presence of an inspector, since there are no permits to revoke. He feels there should be a penalty if a contractor does not stop when told. Mr. Labas reported there has been a request for release of the sidewalk bond on Revere Drive, Beverly Hills Park Estates Subdivision #1. It seems to be in good order and he requests legislation to release the bond. Mr. Kitehen, Director of Law, advised that on November 9 we received a defense verdict in matter filed in 1959, which he has been trying since February of this year, Mr, Gerlach, Director of Finance reported that Council has received a written summary of the work of the Board of Equalization. He has nothing to add. Mrs. Hodgins reported the Safety Committee will meet Friday evening of this week on November 20th at 8:00 P.M. Mr. Foltz reported the Legislative Committee met November llth. Safety-Service Director Limpert and Lieut. Biddulph who were present at the meeting requested legislation setting a fee of $10 to cover the cost of a police escort for over- size loads traveling through the city, when the police are called for this service. The Committee agreed unanimously with their request. The Legislative Committee also agreed to recommend that legislation be drawn to require the installation of a grease interceptor by food establishments. The change of title recommended by the Safety-Service Director, from Street Com- missioner to Superintendent of Public Works, to conform to the duties actualiy performed, was recommended and will be submitted for the drawing of legislation. Mr. Limpert, Chairman of the Transportation reported he has received figures from the Safety-Service Director pertaining to the bus mechanics' wages, and would like to arrange a joint meeting with the Finance and Transportation Com- mitties to go over these figures. Mr. West, Chairman of the Finance Committee, reported his committee recommends that legislation be drawn creating the position of Assistant Law Director at a salary of $3,600 a year. The committee is of the opinion the city will save money under this plan, and it will help expedite legal matters.
