22) <br /> <br />There was discussion as to the level of response potential for grass fires by a start up der <br />department and to the exact equipment that would be neededo Based on Andover's report, <br />grass fires made up 71% of thei~ calls. <br /> <br />Roger Mechels pointed out that communication tie-ins for a new department are <br />readily available and would be relativly inexpensive, as opposed to initiating a <br />brand new system. <br /> <br />24) Harold Bartholow stated that he would look into costs for a grass rig and a good <br /> pumper. <br /> <br />25) The point of establishing and recommending corridors was brought up but tabled until <br /> a chart of fire calls can be put together. <br /> <br />Willard Breu will be looking into zoning and building codes to help us estimate <br />future needs and adaptability of equipment. It was suggested that if the codes do not <br />state a maximum height, then this committee should establish and recommend a maximum <br />height, in accordance with the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code. <br /> <br />David Bawden will be contacting insurance co~anies to establish rates to homeowners <br />in the City and to look at the differences, if any, between the areas covered by <br />Anoka and those covered by Elk River. <br /> <br />28) 9:00 PM Meeting adjourned. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted b~$ <br /> <br /> <br />
