MINUTES City Council March 9, 1988 Debris Complaints (Cont.) F i r•e Inspections Agenda Item No. 15 Par•k Survey Agenda Item No. 16 Fahey felt lar•ger• items should be addr~essed so that ar~eas can be cleaned up when the owner~ will not do so voluntar•ily. LaValle r~epor•ted that in other• cities the Sher•iff's Depar•tment will cite a pr•oper•ty owner~ when ther~e is a complaint about debr•is. The pr~oper•ty owner~ must then appear• in cour~t and is instr•ucted by the judge to clean up a proper•ty. The pr~oper•ty must be cleaned up as ~ condition of a fine within a cer•tain amount of time. The City Attor•ney r•eported that he will r•eview the or~dinance. Collova stated that he will have the Building Inspector• discuss the matter~ with the City Attor~ney as well. Collova r•epor•ted that the Fir•e Chief has expr•essed concer•n that fir~e inspections ar•e not getting done on a timely basis. Collova r•epor•ted that he has discussed this with the Building Inspector~ and suggested that he put a check list together• on equipment that is needed in buildings and send it would to businesses notif,ying them of an upcoming fir•e inspection and the fir•e pr•otection equipment that is needed in their• building. Collova felt that if fir~e inspections wer•e scheduled in an or•der•ly fashion it would be easier• for• the Building Inspector• to get them done. Dlesener• suggested that if the Building Inspector~ does not have the time to complete fir~e inspections, it may be necessar~y for~ the City to hir•e an outside consultant to do these inspections. Fahey suggested that he and Collova meet with the Fir~e Inspector~ and r•eview the matter• and r•epor•t back to the Council. Scal ze r•epor•ted that the Ci ty' s par•k sur~vey i s i n pr•ocess and an initial r~epor•t is expected sometime in Apr•il. Scalze asked if the Council wanted to review the report or have the Park Commission do the initial r~eview. The r~epor~t would only be a pr~eliminar~y r•epor~t at that time. Due to the timing of the City's consider•ations of the Capital View matter~ as well as addition to Little Canada Elementar~y School and the need for public input into these areas, Council felt it should receive the initial park sur~vey report at its April 13th meeting with Park Commission r~eview at their• Apr•il 21st meeting. If possible, Council r~equested copi es of the r~epor~t pr•i or• to thei r~ meeti ng.
