Mounds View City Council June 22, 2009 Regular Meeting Page 3 Kevin Halvorson stated the first inspector used his ladder and looked above the ceiling tiles and said everything was fine. Floyd Halvorson explained that the conflict between the new alarm system, sprinkling system, and phone system has been resolved and the alarm system is in working order. The annual monitoring fee with Olson Fire Protection has now been paid, the inspection completed, and the Fire Marshal wanted a faxed copy. Kevin Halvorson stated he wants this harassment to stop and all other businesses to be inspected and the Code enforced to the same level, including in the Council Chambers. Hearing no additional public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the continued public hearing at 7:43 p.m. Council Member Stigney stated the June 18, 2009, letter notes that Floyd Halvorson indicated an electrician was coming in to correct the Items 2 and 3. Floyd Halvorson stated it did not occur. Council Member Stigney asked when was the last time a State electrical inspection occurred and stated the City should have a copy of that inspection on file. Fire Marshal Osmonson advised the State inspection was made when they moved in and she does not know if another inspection had been made since that time. Council Member Stigney asked if more than one portable appliance is connected to an extension cord. Floyd Halvorson stated only one extension cord is used on an appliance and the cash register at the front door has athree-prong extension cord. Council Member Stigney noted the language indicates it shall serve only one portable appliance. Fire Marshal Osmonson stated that a television mounted on the wall or light fixtures are not portable appliances. Council Member Stigney asked when these alleged violations could be corrected. Floyd Halvorson stated the surge protectors can be done tomorrow. Council Member Stigney asked if the Fire Marshal has documentation from Olson Fire Protection stating service was reinstated. Fire Marshal Osmonson stated she has a copy of an invoice saying work was completed on May 1, 2009 and paid on June 17, 2009 but it does not indicate there is another year of service. Floyd Halvorson showed the Council the information detailing the contract for another year. Council Member Mueller stated it sounds like the fixes are simple and can be done. Floyd Halvorson stated that is correct. Council Member Stigney stated a television mounted on the wall is not a portable appliance so it cannot use an extension cord. Fire Marshal Osmonson stated that is correct for small power . cords but a power strip with surge protection may be used, which is a liberal interpretation of the Code so Robert's does not have to spend money to install permanent receptacles. She also explained that she is trying to work with all the City's business owners to gain Code compliance.
