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.
