This ordinance is to adopt the 2005 National Electrical Code (NEC). This is the most recent electrical
code to be adopted by the State of Colorado Electrical Board.
At first reading concern was expressed about one of the amendments that required all abandoned or
unused wiring and conduit to be removed. The ordinance was sent to study session on November 6,
2006 and consensus was reached to delete the amendment requiring removal of unused wiring and
conduit. This change has been made to the ordinance.
This code edition was reviewed and recommended for adoption by the Building Code Advisory Board
in a recent meeting.
Adoption of the code will require all new construction to be completed in accordance with the code.
Adoption implements Council's goals of preparing for growth and opptortunites by making
devlopment requirements known and ensuring better quality housing stock by implementing the lastest
electrical code.

The Building Code Advisory Board has reviewed and approved the proposed code edition. The State
of Colorado is currently using the NEC 2005 for their electrical code. The current electrical code
used by the City is the NEC 2002 edition.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES:
The purpose of this Code is the practical safegarding of persons and property from hazards arising
from the use of electricity. This is an update to the 2002 National Electrical Code.
The amendment requiring removal of unused or abondoned wiring or conduit has been removed.
There are provisions in other codes that permit the Chief Builidng Official to require removal of
unused wiring or conduit if it presents a safety hazard.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Do not adopt the new electrical code.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There will be no financial impact to the City by adopting of this code.
