Each person, firm or corporation filing an application for an electrical permit shall execute and file with the City Clerk a bond in the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) with corporate surety thereon to be approved by Council, on condition that the person will well and faithfully keep, perform, observe and comply with all the ordinances of the City and the National Electrical Code.
A permit must be secured from the Code Enforcement Office before any electrical work can be done in the City, whether the installation is to be temporary or permanent and whether for wiring, apparatus, equipment or for making extensions or changes to existing wiring, or for light power and whether upon premises, inside or outside or attached to buildings or structures of any character. No person shall proceed with such work without a permit or vary the terms of the permit or the requirements on any code in force at said time of permit, without the written approval of the Code Enforcement Office. However, any corporation holding a franchise from the City for the purpose of furnishing electric current for light, heat or power shall have the right to install, connect, disconnect or remove meters, or their protective devices, without obtaining a permit to do so.
