DISCUSSION OF REINSTATEMENT OF PLASTIC PIPE IN THE JONESBORO CITY CODE
A representative with ADS addressed the committee regarding the reinstatement of plastic pipe in to the Jonesboro Code. He explained he had been told by Mayor Brodell that if his company would replace and properly install the pipe at Community Fellowship Church, then plastic pipe would be reinstated in to the Jonesboro Code of Ordinances. Mayor Brodell denied the agreement saying he told ADS that the matter would be brought back to the committee for discussion. A representative for Spurlock Concrete Pipe spoke in opposition to the reinstatement, saying it was still in the experimental stage. He explained the cost of the material was not the issue, but rather the cost of installation. Councilman Farmer questioned who would be responsible for quality control of installation if plastic pipe were reinstated. He explained Engineering Department was not staffed to provide that type of control. City Engineer, Claude Martin recommended the specifications require a professional engineer sign off on the project as part of the reinstatement. No action was taken regarding reinstatement of plastic pipe into the Jonesboro Code.
