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. M• to L. Vavra, Finance Officer QED FEB 2 4 1987 i 3 ilr;D O 7 TRCSTE;,;'h
