Page 10 Item No. 11 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION AMENDING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED PERMANENT POSITIONS IN THE HOUSING 'AND INSPECTION SERVICES DEPARTMENT - ASSISTED HOUSING DIVISION. Action: Iten No. 12 - FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY SIGNS. Comment: The number of public housing units now under management has increased from 32 to 52 and a planned and consistent yearly maintenance program is necessary which will require approximately 30 hours per week. The AFSCME contract under which this position is covered requires that positions scheduled for 20 hours per week or more with an expected duration of nine months or longer be compensated as permanent rather than temporary positions. Cost of the change is $3,666 for the remainder of FY84 which will be paid from federal funds and are currently available within the FY84 budget. Comment: The final action necessary to implement the right-of- way sign ordinance is to set license fees and insurance require- ments. The proposed resolution would accomplish those matters by establishing fees and insurance requirements equal to those . charged under the sign regulations. An applicant would be required to pay twice what it would cost for a sign not located on City property. Action: AgE7i�t�% B`'G Item No. 13 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER fl TO SPECIFY THE'REQUIRE- MENTS FOR OBTAINING A MASTER ELECTRICIAN'S LICENSE.

The Iowa City Code was not very clear as to how to handle this type of licensing procedure. After a discussion with the City Attorney's office, the Board was advised to prepare the ordinance herein submitted. The Electrical Board took action on this at their meeting held September 20, 1983, and recommends its adoption to Council.
