James Flanagan, Chairman, reported orally on the progress of the work of the Task Force Commission for Revision of Building Codes and commented on some of the problems and situations which his Sub -committee has encountered, to the effect that the Sub -committee's report on the Platting Ordinance needs further study; that as soon as the City's Legal Department has completed the codification of the Mari- time Code, that it be presented to the Council, as well as the National Electrical Code, since this will materially help some of the situations; that the requirement for Building Permits before construction is commenced, should be strictly enforced in order to prevent violations and apparent discriminations; that requests of architects and engineers for acceptable specifications for contemplated construc- tion be answered only by referring them to the Code; that the duties of the personnel of the entire Public Works Department need to be re -defined; that of some 400 ordinances with respect to construction which have been reviewed, 102 of them should be repealed, and 55 of them are questionable, but of these, probably only 4 need J Regular Council Meeting June 6, 1962 Page #4 to be kept and the rest repealed, many because subsequent amendment made the pre- vious amendment ineffective, and some because the amendment is unrealistic; that in general, no amendments to the Building Codes be adopted until after specific recommendation by the Task Force Commission; that the Task Force Commission now requires approximately 6 months more time and assigned secretarial assistance in order to complete its assignment, Commissioner Roberts suggested that the fact that construction costs within the City are in line with those of other comparable cities for comparable construction be publicized, and requested that a similar authorative comparison of taxes be made in order to combat unfounded and unreliable statements to the con- trary. The time for the completion of the assignment of the Task Force Commis - tion was extended to November 15, 1962; the matter of the assignment of secretarial assistance was referred to City Manager Whitney; and the matter of the tax compari- son suggested by Commissioner Roberts was taken under advisement for determination of the appropriate authority to make such a study. Mayor McDonald welcomed Joe Garza, member of the City's Boarf? of Equali- zation, and several of his buddies of the First World War Army Band, and their wives, who expressed their appreciation at the hospitality being shown them, and their enjoyment of their convention in Corpus Christi Sheridan C. Lewis appeared with Joe Simon, Tony Bonilla, and Mrs. John Hyde on behalf of Boys° Club of Corpus Christi, Inc., and submitted and read a pro- posal for the purchase of the same area of land on the Cliff Maus Airport property for which they had previously submitted a request to lease on a 30 -year basis, and requested and urged that the matter be given consideration at the coming Workshop Session.
