RE: Adoption of 1999 National Electric Code (NEC), Ordinance No. 16-O1
Date: February 20, 2001
I recommend the adoption of the 1999 National Electrical Code to replace the 1996 Edition of
National Electrical Code the City has currently adopted. This action would bring the City's
Electrical Code up to the most current standard available. It is important to keep up to date
Code for at least two reasons:
The first is that changes in technology and safe product usage have occurred. Such differences
are addressed by the updating of the Code. A second reason is that the adoption of the most
current Code is a major factor in the rating given the Building Inspection Division when the
division receives an Insurance Services Organization (ISO) rating. Cities that adopt the newest
Codes and enforce them properly receive higher ratings and that results in lower insurance
payments for the citizens because the risk of loss is not as great in that City.
For these reasons I recommend Council approve this Ordinance.
