City Commission Hears First Reading on New Building Code
City commissioners met in a brief session for the first reading of ordinances forming a new building code. Only three of five were present, delaying emergency measures. The code incorporates by reference the abridged Building Officials of America code, the Ohio Plumbing Code, and the 1953 National Electrical Code. A 1,200-foot Breiel Boulevard project was discussed with city cost sharing. Six school crossing guards were appointed for next year, with pay set at 1.15 per hour and assignments including Maple Park School.
