Consider Utilizing Paid -On -Call Firefighters for Fire Code Inspections <br />Fire Chief Kapler stated staff is looking at this proposal to utilize paid -on -call firefighters as a <br />bridge to help staff accomplish what needs to be done within the community. The first comment <br />he hears when discussing inspections is that building is down, so inspections should be down. <br />This is true for new construction, but fire code inspections are the exception to that rule. The <br />Fire Code requires periodic inspections on existing buildings. Per the City's business <br />registrations there are 483 different businesses in town, and it is the goal to get to each of those <br />businesses annually. Fire Marshal Streich has prioritized the businesses by hazards and some are <br />visited more often. In some businesses the inspection will find something extremely dangerous, <br />Personnel Committee / April 10, 2007 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
