Parent Member of the Common Council A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Mr. Forrest West, Building Commissione explained that when the budget was approved it was not anticipated that there would be the number of applications for plumbing examinations as have been received. There is a need for $480 of which they have $110 in the Examinations account. They are requesting the transfer of the additional $370 from the Salaries Account where there is a surplus. The State of Indiana has passed legislation requiring that all plumbers be licensed on the state level beginning in 1973.

They would then come under the "Grandfathers clause" of the state law and would not have to take the state examination. Mr. West explained that the applicants pay the examination fee but it goes into the General Fund.

Sweeney, Jr. explained that you can transfer money by resolution when the transfer is being made between two minor items in the same classification, in this case "Services Personal ". When a transfer is being made from one classification to another, an ordinance is required. Councilman Parent moved for adoption of the resolution, seconded by Councilman Kopczynski.
