MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 17, 1997 SPRINKLERING Properties with the concernin~ being that he anticipated full sprinkiering ISSUES of the property pursuant to Code. The City Administrator was informed that Montreal Courts is planning on sprinklering the corridors and common areas and placing two heads in each unit. Mr. Echtenkamp has indicated he will obtain quotes for full sprinklering of the buildings with the financial impact to then be evaluated. It was noted that the lesser option is the type of retrofit that we agreed to at the Grand Pre' Apartments even though they subsequently fully sprinklered the buildings. The Administrator reported that he has informed the Bond Counsel to change the language in the Development Agreement to indicate that life safety improvements would be a minimum of $620,000 to prevent a limitation preventing full sprinklering. The Administrator reported that his question on the issue is whether the Council wants to require full sprinklerin~ of the property or a lesser option. Both the Fire Chief and Fire Marshal have indicated that they are comfortable with an approach similar to the Grand Pre' agreement. Morelan indicated that the City should require whatever the Life Safety Code requires for a retrofit which would be less stringent than if there were new construction involved. Fahey and LaValle agreed.
