Present were committee members O'Grady, Gareau and Nashar and Councilman Limpert; City Engineer Deichmann, Assistant Building Commissioner Rymarczyk; twelve members from the labor unions. Agenda items were as follows: • Ordinance 2000-140, which is an ordinance creating new Section of 1139.13 of Chapter 1139 of the Zoning Code entitled "Masonry Brick" required in construction of exterior walls of commercial buildings; so as to require that all new commercial buildings in the General Retail District have exterior walls, with a certain amount of masonry brick. After review of this ordinance, the Planning Commission did not recommend approval. At the committee meeting, there was a very lengthy discussion pertaining to this ordinance by the local union members. The committee did not make a recommendation and asked that the legislation be held in committee for further review.
