Mullet Ma or Fire Department Nicholas J. Olivas, Fire Chief June 4, 2004 To: Chief Olivas From: Capt. Tomaso Re: Public Fire Works Display Permit. I have reviewed the information provided by Mr. Tom Whitacre who has applied for the permit for a public fireworks display at Fort Dent Park, 14600 Starfire Way. Mr. Whitacre is a licensed Pyrotechnic Operator with the State of Washington and with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Fire Arms. Mr. Whitacre is also licensed to transport fire works by the State Department of licensing. The display will be held in conjunction with the Cities planned event on the 4th of July, "Family Fun at the Fort", being organized by the Park and Recreation Department. This will be a 25 to 30 minute show starting at approximately 2200 hours. The fireworks will be transported to the site in the AM of July 4th and under the required supervision while on location until they are discharged. The mortar tubes and other equipment will be broughtto the location on July3. The application was reviewed to WAC 212-17, and accepted industry standards and I find every thing is within these guidelines I do have some concerns in regards to the location this year in relation to the Rail Road right of way, baseball fields and the limited access this allows. In addition a portion of the fall out area includes a portion of a commercial property within the City of Renton. I have contacted Renton Fire Official's and have not received a response at the time of this memo. I was not able to ascertain if Renton has a concern with the commercial property being in the fall out area, although last year The City of Renton had no concerns with this issue, but they have a new Fire Marshal this year. Also crowd control can be a potential issue, to mitigate these issues I believe the following measures should be done.

Finance and Safety Committee June 7, 2003 Present: Dave Fenton, Chair; Joan Hernandez, Dennis Robertson Nick Olivas, Keith Haines, Rhonda Berry, Chris Flores, Don Tomaso, Lucy Lauterbaeh 1. Fire Code Ordinances, Fire Department officers talked about six different ordinances they have ready. They will all go for a Public hearing June 14, 2004. a. Adoption of International Fire Code Nick talked about the new code, which has a few new provisions in it. What the City will not adopt is an appendix that requires two access roads out in each direction for subdivisions. Appendices are optional, so this will not be adopted. Barbecues will not be allowed on decks, or within 10 feet of a building, which caused some discussion. The committee members suggested some clarifications to the ordinance, such as identifying one part of an ordinance listing fire apparatus access roads as a parking sign issue. Recommend ordinance to COW and Regular Meetings.. b. Fire Protection Systems Ordinance This ordinance details the installation of f~re sprinklers in buildings and fire extinguishers in hallways. There are few major, changes from the current ordinance. Recommend ordinance to COW and Regular Meetings. e. Fire Alarm Systems Ordinance One change in the new ordinance is that fire alarms will need to have a reset button permanently located at the keypad. Updates are also included. Recommend ordinance to COW and Regular Meetings. d. Fire Hydrant Ordinance Hydrants are all colored according to how much water they can can3t. Red hydrants are for 500 gallons per minutes (gpm), orange from 500-1,000 gpm, and green hydrants have more than 1,000 gpm available. Dave asked about a hydran~ on private property, as requirements seemed to have changed this year. Recommend ordinance to COW and Re lar Meefin s. ....... e. High Rise Buildings Ordinance This ordinance applies to buildings four stories or higher. One new requirement is that parking garages must be sprinklered. Recommend ordinance to COW and Regular Meetings. 'f. Fire Reinspeetion Fees Fees are going u.p from the current $40 to $60 for the second reinspedfion when improvements have not been made. Third and fourth inspection prices are also rising. Dennis asked if the increased fees were enough to encourage owners to make the improvements on time. Staffthought they would help. Recommend ordinance to COW and Regular Mee~ Fireworks Ordinance. Don Tomaso.has pushed the insurance pe~on wh.ose perrms~.on is eded for a permit, and the information xs ready e~lier this year than m prewous years, r~re urance costs have risen because of some fire incidents on the East Coast last year. There is a new Fire Marshal in Renton now, and though Don has n~t heard from him, Don is a little concerned because there could be fireworks fallout on a beverage distributor on the edge of . Renton. This is the same as last year, but the new Fire Marshall's reaction is unknown. Recommend issue to COW and Regular Meetings. 3. Fire Department Grant Applications The Fire Department applied for and got a homeland security grant for'S117,180. It will be used for two thermal imagers and for gas monitors. No match is required for homeland security grants. They also received a State grant for a computer server that was needed Another $157,000 grant has been applied for that would require a 10% match. It would be used for equipment like leather boots to replace the rubber boots that don't have any support, breathing apparatus replacements, and for a generator, and a mobile air compressor. A $70,000 grant request has also been made for more equipment. Finally a $29,000 request will be made to federal grant agencies to modify and enhance their trailer that pulis emergency equipment. Information. 4. Police Grant Police got a $111,000 grant for equipment for the Valley Special Response Team, for whom Tukwila is the fiscal agent The grant requires no match, and will need to be spent by March, 2005. It will pay to equip the 13 member team with protective clothing that will allow them to respond in a "hot zone" incident. They'll also buy a trailer and outfit it. Police is also asking for a Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program grant. Information. 5. Clear Path Proposal. The Committee talked about the Clear Path proposal, and concluded the City does not have the excess funds now to afford this proposal just now. Dave started by saying he thought the proposal infringed on Michael Friedman's work. Dennis said he liked the idea of strategi~ing but thought four months was a long time to do it. He was reluctant to jump into it before February, 2005. Dave asked what we would do with the information once we got it. Joan said she thought it was a good proposal but didn't know if now was the right time to do it. All agreed that funding the program was problematical at this time. With uncertainties such as Initiative 864, SST funding and the economy recovering slowly, they thought it best to be conservative about city spending now. Recommend aqaln.qt sul~oortin~ l~ro~ram at this time. · - 6. First Quarter Reports The Committee has a few comments and questions about the report.' - They asked that the break'down between fire calls and aid calls be given. They also asked that Russ Hicks, who was honored by Mothers Against Dnmk Driving, be presented for congratulations at a Council meeting. They also noted the Tourism section would be put under the Economic Developer's position when s/he is hired. The Library Board will also move to Parks ne. xt year. Information. ~hair approval
