Nomination To Board Is Delayed
A council committee report to reappoint Ralph Ott to the city heating examining board was ruled out of order by Solicitor J C William Tattersall and Council President Eugene B Smith. The delay stems from a second report proposing changes to membership rules to allow Ott to qualify, noting Ott’s employer status disqualifies him as a contractor. The panel must adopt the changes before reappointment, with May 1 set for introduction and Ott to attend tonight’s board meeting.
