NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco that pursuant to the requirements of Health & Safety Code §17958.7 and Government Code §50022.4, the City Council finds and determines there is a need to adopt the following changes or modifications to the National Electrical Code 1990 Edition, (Municipal Code Chapter 15.20) by reason of local conditions: 1. Administrative Changes. Article 90-9, Violations, and Article 90-10, Penalties, are added in light of Government Code §50022.4 to conform with other Municipal Code provisions. These changes are administrative rather than technical in nature. 2. Climatic, Geological, and Topographical Changes. ae Provisions on wiring systems are added in Article 300-23, Wiring Methods, to clarify that approved electrical metallic tubing or rigid metallic conduit are required in all but a few instances in order to reduce potential electrical line problems, especially as a result of earthquakes. be An amendment to Article 334-23, Metal-Clad Cable, is needed to clarify that internal grounding conductors must be provided in each metal clad cable because the existing wording simply refers to an "adequate path." Co It is appropriate, as reflected in amendments to Article 336-3, Nonmetallic-Sheathed Cable, and Article 336-4, Uses Not Permitted, to limit the use of Type NM and type NMC cables to certain residential structures and not permit such cables in industrial and commercial buildings. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby directed to cause a copy of this resolution, together with the ordinance making the changes or modifications to the National Electrical Code and Uniform Building Code Standards, 1990 Editions, to be filed with the State Department of Housing and Community Development. I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was regularly introduced and adopted by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco at a regular meeting held on the 22nd day of July , 1992 by the following vote: AYES-.
