Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: July 9, 1999 <br />RE: False Alarm Fees for Bigos Property Management (Lakeside Apartments) <br />Attached is correspondence received from Bigos Management relative to the false alarm fees <br />they have incurred since their purchase of the property in February 1999. They are asking for <br />any consideration the Council would be kind enough to grant to reduce or eliminate the fees they <br />have incurred. The false alarm situation and associated fees are as follows: <br />03/16/99 at 4:33 p.m. $0 <br />03/19/99 at 12:11 p.m. 0 <br />03/25/99 at 6:07 p.m. 250 <br />03/25/99 at 8:06 p.m. 250 <br />03/27/99 at 6:37 p.m. 500 <br />05/10/99 at 6:24 p.m. 500 <br />05/20/99 at 5:58 p.m. 500 <br />Total: $2,000 <br />In considering this matter, it needs to be understood that all of these are valid false alarm <br />charges. The Fire Department did respond to these calls with manpower and equipment. The <br />calls in March were likely associated with painting operations occurring within the property. <br />Our Fire Marshal, Duane Williams had informed the painters that the alarm company should be <br />notified of this activity so that false alarms would not be reported. Management staff was also <br />informed of this action by Mr. Williams. <br />From a positive standpoint, Bigos Management is installing a new alarm system within this <br />complex. As you may know, this property has been a long- standing problem in terms of false <br />alarms. Therefore, this new alarm system may help alleviate that concem. <br />PAGE 180 <br />
