Generally speaking, how many muni's, nationally, have a permit process now?
Secondly, of those how many actually have a difference, in the process, for
those systems that are to be a "certified system" and those that are just
the mass marketer's "basic system"? and third, of those that have a permit
requirement, how many ask for plan submittal? I am talking burg here not
fire. When dealing in these circles, not only do they not have the money or
man power but there is virtually no one, in these departments that is
qualified or knows anything about design of burg systems for there to be a
plan review. They only thing they know is what is pertinent the NEC. Because
of that, there is no city or county attorney that will sign off on it. They
don't want plans to be submitted, because once there is submittal, the plans
become public record. They don't want the liability of having security plans
or having to release plans due to a request from, who knows who, on a
"request for release of public records", which anyone can do. In this
instance, the less they see, the better they like it. If anything, it may be
simply referenced in some ordinance, such as the CPO1 standard is, but no
one knows what it is or how to enforce it.
