R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, then gave the proposed ordinance its firs reading.
Special attention was called to Section 7 (C) Circuits -and -outlets "(1) All circuit wiring shall
be installed in a metallic raceway not less than one-half (1/2") inch in diameter. Armored cable
shall not be considered a metallic raceway or an acceptable substitute therefor. With the approv-
al of the Electrical Inspector, three -eighths (3/8") inch flexible metal cable may be used in re-
modeling work when the use of one-half inch metallic raceway is not practicable.". Mr. Walter
Gordon, Electrical Inspector, stated that the City's electrical code was basically the same as it
was in 1940 and with the new electrical gadgets, it was now necessary that a new code be adopted
governing the wiring of homes. This new proposed measure would provide.the same restrictions for
.wiring new homes or extensive rewiring jobs on older homes as there now are on commercial structure
Mr. Joe Weis, representing the Home Builder's Association, was present and stated that they were
•
not opposed to the entire ordinance but did not feel that all wiring would have to be encased in a
metallic raceway. He said they had gotten estimates from electricians saying that this would cost
about $150.00 to $350.00'more. He requested that they be given a copy of the ordinance so they
could study it. Mr. Ehrick said he would furnish one copy for the Association. Mr. Larry McCaleb
was also present and.opposed the additional cost of having the wire encased. He said he felt that
most of these loans were examined by F. H. A. and G. I. Inspectors --and if they felt it -was necessax
they would have taken some action by now. Mr. Vincent Huyber and Mr. Earl Squires, electricians,
spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance.
Copies of a Survial Plan prepared by the Civil Defense Director were given to each
member of the Council and they were told that in order to -participate in Federal Funds, the City
would have to approve this plan by June 30th. R. V. Ehrick, City Attorney, then read a proposed
ordinance establishing Civil`Defense and made the following remarks regarding same: We discussed

Civil Defense organization. We have had at.least 2 or 3 joint meetings with the County Board
i.%
f 304
`Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council
of the City of -Rochester, Minn., June 5, 1961
F
called for the purpose of discussing a Civil Defense organization and as I recall was this - that
it was -our intention to have a single integrated Civil Defense organization and that the two groups
would meet and agree on their budget and the proposed contributions of the tw% municipalities and
county board, to this budget and that insofar as practicable the property necessary for Civil Defense
and be acquired jointly through the use of the funds and the personnel would be paid from these
common funds and we also discussed Workmen's Compensation providing for common coverage. In'my
opinion this proposed ordinance does not go far enough in supply or in providing for the general
concept of a simple organization. Basically.this proposed ordinance has been adopted in resolution
form by the County Board but in my opinion, if it is the intention of the Common Council and if it
was the intention of the County Board and the Common Council to form a single integral Civil Defense
organization, I don't think we are going to accomplish this by these two separate instruments. I am
satisfied we should adopt a joint motion in ordinance or agreement type of thing that would provide
for (1) a joint commission or board with authority to hire the Civil Defense Director and to perform
the emergency functions specified; in this ordinance they would be performed by the Mayor and by the
County Board and this agreement should provide for a joint committee to prepare the budget and con
tributions to the budget. I think this document should provide..for a single integrated.Civil
Defense organization with joint acquisition of property purchased with Civil Defense funds. I think
it should provide for a single integrated Civil Defense organization with single and direct lines of
authority with the responsibility to City boundaries and it is my opinion that the agreement should
provide integral and coordinated police, fire and other Civil Defense functions on a single basis.
If it was the intention of the Common Council insofar as legally possible to form such a single
integrated Civil Defense organization, I don't think this proposed ordinance,does this. Under
this system each independently appointed the Civil Defense Director but in the proposed ordinance
the authority to remove him is given to the Mayor and I don't know what the situation would be if
he were removed by one and not the other. If you have in mind the common training of Police and
Fire Protection and many other functions, this is not provided for in this agreement. I have always
felt and I thought the Common Council felt that the boundaries of the City would be artificial and I
feel in any emergency the boundaries of the County would be artificial and you would be acting under
directives of the Governor and it seems to me to preserve civil Defense on the basis of City and 11-:011
county boundaries partially defeats the proposal we nave in mind. Mr. Roscoe Van Horne, the cavil
Defense Director, was present and said tnat iris only interest in getting an ordinance adopted was
so tuey nad some autaority and responsibility and said he was highly in favor or saving a joint
committee and relt it would be providing a uniform control and lessen any chance of confusion and
misunderstanding. He said this ordinance is being adopted by many of the cities throughout the
State and from his own experience from working, it would meet all the requirements of the Civil
Defense program.
The members of the Council had various questions and said they would like a chance to
review the proposed ordinance and also the "Operational Survivial Plan" submitted by Mr. Van Horne.
Mr. Ehrick was to send copies of the proposed ordinance to each alderman.
Alderman Stadler was requested to set up a joint meeting in the very near future of the
