We are receiving a great deal of citizen support and cooperation on this project. At its February 24, 1975 meeting, the DTT-Skeexing,;-Committee endorsed the name of "Freedom Playground." At their February 25, 1975 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Board voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that the new playground be named "Freedom Square." Recommendation: The Administration has discussed this matter on several occasions. We feel the word "Freedom" is good, and it is immaterial whether it be called "Playground" or "Square." In any case, we would like the City Council to decide on the name so we can proceed with making the appropriate sign. Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Preble, to name the Vest -Pocket Park Freedom Square. Yeas: Council members Bowling, Fead, Gray, Prebie, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson.

Bill Waldo had been appointed Chief Building Inspector for the City. Mr. Waldo addressed the following proposed changes with justifications as recommended by the members of the Building Code and Plumbing Code Committees: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO BUILDING CODE February 26, 1975 SECTION 1711 (a) FLOORS AND WALLS In other than dwelling units, toilet room floors shall have a smooth, hard non -absorbent surface such as Portland cement, concrete, ceramic tile, quarry tile, sheet vinyl only not less than .075" thickness - wear thickness not less than .035", monolithic seamless floor systems (when installed over concrete)', ceramic floor system incorporating non -absorbent backing materials when installed with "Waterproof" adhesives, and other approved materials. ' Non -absorbent materials shall extend upward onto the walls at least 4". Where vinyl inlay or seamless systems are extended upwards the junction at floor and wall shall be coved. Ceramic and quarry type bases may be installed with vinyl or seamless coverings if set with waterproof adhesives. 166 IA6.4. ' In non -dwelling units walls within two (2) feet of the front and sides of urinals shall be similarly finished with approved material to a height of four (4) feet and except for structural elements, the materials used in such walls shall be of a type which is not adversely affected by moisture. EXCEPTION: 1. In heavy traffic area with uncontrolled use of toilet facilities such as service stations, transportation terminals, food and drink establish- ments, public toilet facilities and open mall toilets, floor covering shall r.{ not include sheet vinyl inlay. ;r7 2. Carpet and other floor coverings may be Installed in private, individual toilets with restricted access. Justification: Section 1711 1. Ceramic tile installed over wood construction creates Droblems because of shrinkage and movement. 2. A concrete floor can be considered to meet the hard surface ' requirements thereby substituting the vinyl or epoxy surface over concrete more nearly meets the non -absorbent requirements than does either the concrete or the joints between ceramic tile. 3. Economics 4. Classifying traffic density (controlled by C.O.) Section 503 (d) 4 In the indicated 1 hr. occupancy seoaration between a GrouD I and J occupancy the separation may be limited to the installation of materials having an U.L. Class F-45 rating, and a tight fitting solid wood door 1 3/8 inches in thickness will be nermitted in lieu of a rated fire assembly. Fire dampers shall not be required in ducts, piercing this senaration provided they are constructed of number 26 gauge galvanized steel. .Justification: The 1970 and 1973 edition had the same code language, however there was an adopting ordinance change in the 1970 that read as stated above. This is an attempt to change the 1973 to the same language. ' PROPOSED PLUMBING FEE SCHEDULE 167 Exception for the following work: , 1. For replacement of water heaters - $4.00 2. For alteration or extension of gas line not to exceed 3 outlets - $4.00 3. For repair, alteration or extension of drainage on vent piping system, not to exceed 3 fixtures - $4.00 Justification: We believe the $7.00 charge for permits in addition to the other assigned fees defeats the objective of obtaining permits in this classification and therefore no inspections to be sure of safe installations. The cost to the owners in many cases creates the problem whereby the owner or someone else does the work without a permit. Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray, to refer the items to the City Attorney for Ordinance preparation according to the above proposals. Yeas: Council members Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Other Business , 1. Resolution adopted approving an agreement with the Cherry Hill Sanitation District.
