Y Ladies and Gentlemen: The Electrical Licensing Ordinance and Electrical Code of the City of Corpus Christi have been enacted to protect the health, safety, lives and property of the citizens by insuring that electrical work performed within the city limits is performed in a safe and proper manner. The present ratio of allowing a maximum of one apprentice to work under the supervision of one journeyman electrician has been a part of our City Ordinance for many years and has worked well. All of the evidence and testimony that was presented to the City Council indicates that the amendment passed by the City Council, increasing the apprentice /journeyman ratio would create a danger of hazardous and unsafe electrical work being performed in the City, and thus creating hazards to the health, safety, lives and property of the citizens. I will not be party to this action by the Council majority,to imperil,the citizens of Corpus Christi. The persons who appeared before us in opposition to this ordinance have shown that this amendment will allow untrained, unskilled and untested persons to perform electrical work within the city without adequate supervision. It has been shown that this action is contrary to what has been found to be safe and workable by the United States Department of Labor, and this action is also contrary 4 •� Public City Council City Manager City Secretary 2 July 6, 1977 to the recommendations made to us by the two respected Electrial Engineering professors from Del Mar College who communicated with the Council. Both of these Electrical Engineering professors were of the opinion that this action would create a danger to the safety of the lives and property of our citizens. All of the unbiased evidence presented to the City Council was against this ordinance. It is apparent to me that this ordinance is supported by a few persons having a vested economic special interest in lowering the safety standards for electrical work in the City of Corpus Christi. I will not be a party to such action. For the reasons stated, I..hereby exercise my right as Mayor of Corpus Christi to veto the ordinance passed by the Council majority amending the Electrical Licensing Ordinance by increasing the apprentice ratio. r Ja uby, Mayor JL:jb PUBLISHER'S AFFIDAVIT v 4' tr " STATE OF TEXAS, lss: County of Nueces.
