Resolution 7666, Authorizing Olsen Fire Inspection, Inc. to Replace a Fire Alarm Panel located at the Mounds View Community Center. Council Member Stigney suggested the problematic alarm panel be removed from the locker room. City Administrator Ericson explained the smoke alarms that were malfunctioning would be removed as they were unnecessary. The panel issue was called to the City's attention and the City has determined to replace it, as parts were no longer available to repair it. Council Member Stigney questioned if staff could remove the fire detectors. City Administrator Ericson noted it would be more efficient to have Olson complete the work. He stated if the City could complete the work for a less expense it would be done, understanding the majority of the expense was the work needed for the new fire panel. Mayor Flaherty asked why the smoke detectors were installed when they were not needed. City Administrator Ericson indicated the City was going the extra mile and fire code has changed since the locker rooms were added.
