MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />OCTOBER 13, 1993 <br />Morelan agreed that the paperwork involved in the new <br />fire inspection program needs to be improved upon. <br />Morelan felt that staff could work out the details and <br />forms necessary to make the program work. <br />LaValle pointed out that the City is paying for this <br />new program, and he would like to know what the City is <br />qetting for its money. LaValle indicated that he still <br />has a lot of questions. <br />Scalze asked if there were State requirements for what <br />a fire inspection should include. <br />Morelan pointed out that there is a Life Safety Code, <br />and a fire inspection should ensure that the provisions <br />of this Code are being met. <br />The City Administrator pointed out that in the past <br />fire inspecting has been more reactive than proactive. <br />The Administrator pointed out that he has described how <br />the program will work. The Administrator stated that <br />he is hearing concerns about past performance, and <br />noted that these concerns are not relevant to this new <br />program. The City is trying to get a new fire <br />inspection program underway, and should proceed with <br />the program. <br />The Administrator agreed that the forms contained in <br />the Council's agenda do require clarification, and this <br />will be done. <br />Pedersen suggested that the new program be put in place <br />and that an evaluation of the new program be presented <br />to the Council in three months. <br />The Administrator agreed, pointing out that it will be <br />possible to set measurable goals and determine outcomes <br />under the new program. <br />LaValle asked who will be responsible for overseeing <br />the new program. <br />The Administrator felt that it would be wise to place <br />the Fire Marshal in charge of the program as part of <br />the 3-month evaluation process. Defined goals will be <br />set for the program, and the Fire Marshal will be <br />responsible for achievement of those goals. <br />Mr. Morelan introduced the following resolution and <br />moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION N0. 93-10-337 - ADOPTING THE NEW FIRE <br />INSPECTION PROGRAM AS OUTLINED IN THE CITY ADMINISTER'S <br />Page 23 <br />
