Administrator's Review/Recommendation: -No Comments to supplement this report -Comments attached. Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) Summary: MEMORANDUM TO: Chuck Whiting, City Clerk-Administrator FROM: Joyce Pruitt, Acting Community Development Director RE: Consideration of Adoption of Ordinance No. 586 DATE: July 10, 1996 Alibis Ordinance was formally introduced at the June 10, 1996 City Council meeting. A letter was sent out to Vir Mounds View businesses last week regarding the adoption of Ordinance No. 586 at the July 15, 1996 City Council meeting. A copy of this letter is attached for your review. Title 1001, Section 1001.01, as it reads now does not require automatic fire suppression systems. When Chapter 60, "Building Code and license Fees" was amended in June of 1983, Section 60.02 read: Adoption of the Minnesota State Building Code. There is hereby adopted by Mounds View for the purpose of providing uniform standards to safeguard life or limb,health,property and public welfare by regulating and controlling design, construction,quality of materials,use and occupancy of all buildings and structures,the Minnesota State Building Code, 1980 Edition,as amended from time to time. Also adopted by Mounds View is Optional Appendix E of the Minnesota State Building Code regarding Automatic Fire Suppression Systems. Copies of the Building Code are filed in the offices of the Clerk and the same is hereby adopted and the date on which this ordinance shall take effect the provisions thereof shall be controlling within the limits of the Municipality. Thus, it appears that the intent was to include a provision for requiring an adequate sprinkler system, but that the requirement was notincluded in the Codification. The attached Ordinance No. 586 provides requirements for adequate fire suppression equipment within buildings. <�_ Joyce Pruitt, Acting Community Development Director • RECOMMENDATION: Motion to waive the actual reading and Consider formal adoption of Ordinance No. 586, an Ordinance relating to automatic fire suppression and amending Title 1001, Section 1001.01, Subd. 1 of the Mounds View Municipal Code.
