POLICE DEPARTMENT
Stop Stick Demo: Captain Filsinger reported that Officers
Schumaker and Brand assisted the Loveland Police Department and
Highway Patrol with a high speed pursuit into the Estes Park area
by placing stop sticks, which flatten tires slowly to avoid
accidents, across the road. Stop sticks cost approximately $400
for set of three and are replaced free of charge by the company.
A letter was received from the Colorado Department of Public Safety
commending the Police Department for their assistance.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Training Site Water Line: Chief Rumley reported that, to remain in
compliance with NFPA Standards, a 20,000 gallon cistern for Pumper
Operations is being constructed at the Fire Department Training
Site. A 611 or larger water line is needed to fill the cistern and
a hydrant is necessary to accommodate training. Chief Rumley
reported that local contractors have agreed to assist in trench
digging. Administrator Klaphake noted the necessity to place the
water lines to avoid leakage into the landfill area. The Committee
recommends the Public Works Department submit a proposed water line
design for review.
CIRSA Requests: Chief Rumley referred to a letter from CIRSA
noting required Fire Department compliance, including safety
officer designation, fire apparatus inspection and maintenance, and
protective clothing provision. The Bylaws and Standard Operating
Procedures will be updated to include this information. CIRSA also
requested certification for rescue training from confined spaces
and trenches. First Assistant Fire Chief Ford provided information
on the required equipment and related costs, noting that the Town
Water Department owns some of the required equipment and personnel
have been trained for these types of rescues. After further
discussion, the Committee recommends that CIRSA provide more detail
on its requirements; Staff consider alternatives, such as
designating Water Personnel for this type of rescue; Town Staff
research the program in Loveland and Fort Collins and determine
more specific costs; and that this information be returned to
Committee for further consideration.
REPORTS
No reports.
There being no further business, Chairman Marshall adjourned the
meeting at 8:35 a.m.
