Under the current code, he said, inspectors have different interpretations of what violates the code and what does not. "There were certain areas where the code was silent with no set requirements, and therefore people tried to apply standards that weren't spelled out," Donaldson said. "Others would apply a different set of standards to the same issue, and the question of whether it was a violation or not was different in each case. In the new code, for example, under "Minimum Standards for Light and Ventilation," the ventilating system in a bathroom "must move sufficient air to support a piece of toilet tissue on the fan's grate when the fan is in operation." This way, said committee member and tennant advocate Larry Fox, tenants can check the standards of inspection for themselves.

Councilmember Terry Martin (R- Second Ward) said the code may need more extensive revisions before council members vote to pass it. "The city attorney has already cut down on a lot of redundancy," she said, "but more work can be done on it." City attorney Bruce Laidlaw, who has made recommendations on the language and length of the code to the committee, said the current proposal is "redundant and wordy. We should produce a code that is 13 pages, not 52." But council member Jeff Epton (D-Third Ward), chair of the council's housing board of review, said he thinks the code will pass with little change. "You need to specifically spell out certain issues like enforcement and basis of exceptions," which make the code so long, he said. Epton added that revising the code to eliminate these specificities would "defeat the purpose. There will be some changes in it, but the spirit of the code will remain the same. It will be closer to 52 pages than to 13." Council member Kathy Edgren (D- Fifth Ward), one of the original members of the writing committee, said Laidlaw's recommendations would disrupt the new code's intentions. "The committee appreciates (Laidlaw's) support for reform. but we cannot makes changes that would effect the entire content of the code." The committee is scheduled to submit the code to council for a vote with or without Laidlaw's approval. Mayor Gerald Jernigan, who sat on the initial committee for a few months, said the code will probably pass "in some form," and that he would not veto it. "I don't have a problem with it," he said. Jernigan said he left the writing committee out of frustration. "We hoped it would be a shorter process, but because there were opposing points of view, it was extremely difficult to agree on certain subjects." It took one month alone to agree on the process of discussion, he added, and about a year till the members "started to get along." "Once we got over preconceived notions like landlords equal slumlords and Student Legal Services people are two steps this side of communism, we discovered that our goals were the same," Apartment Association head Jim Morris said. Morris, Edgren, and Fox are joined on the committee by attorney Gary Rothberger, and property owner Tom Earthwaite. Edgren said the long process of revising the code was due to the original document's length and detail. "We had to discuss all details in every single section." There were also "many areas where there was a lot of disagreement," she added.' Fox said the interests of both tenants and landlords were considered in writing the new code.
