LARIMER COUNTY HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM
Frank Landcaster, Larimer County Director of Department of
Natural Resources, gave a short synopsis of the Larimer County
Hazardous Waste program. He estimated 1,000 hazardous waste
generators are in operation in Larimer County under current
federal guidelines. Methods of establishing a safe and efficient
collection system of hazardous wastes and transporting to
established disposal sites are being researched. Larry Niemiec
has been hired as a coordinator for the program in Larimer
County.
No formal recommendations were made, this was an informational
meeting only.
UNIFORM FIRE CODE
The adoption of the Uniform Fire Code and hiring a Fire Marshal
was discussed.
Town Attorney White stated that if the Town was to adopt a Fire
Code, there are certain regulations and requirements that would
need to be enforced by someone for fire protection. The Town is
under no legal requirement to adopt a Fire Code and the Town has
no liability for not adopting a Fire Code. If a Fire Code is
adopted, it must be enforced. Adopting a Fire Code would require
bringing commercial buildings up to code, and annual inspections
of all commercial buildings.
Fire Chief Rumley reported fire calls went up this past year but
the dollar loss went down. Thirty-seven voluntary inspections
were done by the Fire Department.
The Public Safety Committee discussed the adoption of the Uniform
Fire Code in 1985. No action was taken at that time.
No recommendation was made at this time.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
