decision concerning
reconnections of electrical service in
emergency situations.
It provides for speedy return of service
on weekends or at night when
there is a fire in a breaker box or
similar problem that can be readily
corrected. Harvey will allow on inspector
to perform the necessary inspections
by direct telephone call
from cither a licensed electrician or
one of the electric utilities. The permits
would be filed on the next working
day. with other related data, and
the inspector could issue a certificate
of occupancy directly to the electric
utilities.
The board agreed for Commissioner
Grace Bcasley, who operates
a mobile home park with her husband.
to work with Harvey in addressing
several concerns relating to
mobile homes, while Chairman Chris
Chappell will work with him on revising
the system used in the past when
issuing electrical permits for multiple
unit commercial and residential
structures. No explanation of that
system was offered.
Harvey also recommended that:
A set inspection fee be charged
structures that have been moved
