ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION Vice Mayor Kiselewski asked Attorney Baldwin if the City amended the Fire Codes setting a new distance between fire hydrants if the City would have to bring sections of the City up to code. Attorney Baldwin felt if the Council made a determination as a legislative body through an Ordinance that safety dictates and requires that within the City the hydrants be 300 ft, it could be a problem not to update the other sections of the City where the hydrants are further apart. The City Manager did not feel this was a safety problem, but a more effective way of fighting fires in the future. Attorney Baldwin felt the distinction the City Manager has drawn is correct. Vice Mayor Kiselewskj felt the Ordinance should state the reason for the new distances for the hydrants so it would be very clear.
