RE: Complaint by Mr. Roley of Roley's Gifts
DATE: December 7, 1973
Roy Bingman contacted me on November 30, 1973 in regard
to an allegation made by Mr. Roley owner of Roley's Gifts
located in the Foothills Shopping Mall, -that a building inspector
had refused to -allow a beneficial- occupancy.until electrical
receptacles had been installed above the show windows.
Mr. Roley registered a complaint with City Councilman
Charles Bowling, who I assume referred him to Mr..Bingman.
The allegation was completely erroneous, and inorder to
set the matter straight I will unfold the facts as they
occurred. Paul Michaud and I inspected this'shop area "
together on November 23, 1973 per the contractor's request
for beneficial occupancy approval. Paul informed the general
contractor, Charles Onstad,-that.the afore mentioned receptacles
would have to be installed, and said nothing about refusing
occupancy of the store. However, I found the.rear exit
corridor had been.reduced to thirty-five'(35") inches in
width by wall mounted shelving. I told the contractor the
store could not open for business until ;this shelving had been .
cut back to a point that would allow a corridor width of
forty-four (44") inches.
Paul reinspected the shop again on November 29,.,1973
and found that the:receptacles had not been installed yet,
nor had the corridor problem been corrected. However, Mr.
Onstad told him he would take care of the corridor immediately
at which time Paul indicated to him that he would not hold
up the occupancy. -
This'entire incident transpired during the week you left
me in -charge, and because I was in charge I felt that'Mr.
Roley's complaint should have been channeled through me before
it was sent to the department head.
I might add that I inspected the shop this date, and
the corridor problem has not been corrected. Mr. Onstad
will be notified and ordered to make the corrections immediately.
