We first <br /> met with the City's Electrical Commission to determine how to approach these alterations which <br /> had to do with installation of in-ground swimming pools. Basically, we deleted this section of the <br /> code as it was discovered that the N.E.C. Code officials would themselves be deleting or <br /> modifying this section later this year. It is still possible, as judged by both our division and the <br /> City Electrical Commission to make a safe installation without use of this deleted section. <br /> Other modifications of Chapter 69 are also shown in the attachment, but the aforementioned <br /> section was the most prevalent. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: None we are aware of. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: City Electrical Commission. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Randy Johner, Construction Inspections Manager @ 424-2787 or <br /> rcj ohner(a�decaturnet.org. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None. <br /> RJ/lt <br />
