Council Minutes of 9-6-'~ -la sa-called job jar; would like t~ go through some of the work o~rd«rs or whatever has been pending for the last couple of years and see what can be done to get some of them completed. President Lampert referred to the house oa Fitch &oarl which Wa: to be reawved and discussed with Safety Directox R~tsarfic the condition of the lwfuse and if it is not going to be moved can w+e make thew desolish it. Ssfaty Director goharik reported the Building Commi.esi~er is writing d~olitioa orders sad the Daly thing that remains is to inform the State we plan to do that. Under New Business: Mr. Wilamosky referred to *.:?~e lant hou~~.on the east side of Buxas Road - a possible safety hazard - the house was originally scheduled to be moved: half the garage is there and half is not: it has been in that condition far a considerle length of time and would like to request the Safety Director to have the Safety Department look into it. Had opportunity to talk to the property owner and he said r#.gbt now he does not have a site to move it. In light of that we may bs faced with the situation for a long time to came and does not think we should have to have that. Mr. Wilamosky referred to an incident which occurred on Septed>er 5th: anew ambulance came out of Station #~2 yesterday and looked at afire hydr+m-t on Surrey Drive. It was later reported to Mr. Wila'wsky that there was a call that came in indicating that there was tampering with that particular firs hydrant: a rescue squad was at the scene - looked at the hydrant and drove off. Mr. Wilamosky asked Safety Director Roharik if it is administrative policy to use a $45,t?Dt! a~ulanee to make a service call on afire hydrant. Safety Director Koharik stated it is not the administrative policy nor the policy of the Fire Chief to send aut the Squads 51 and 52 to noxmally maintain fire hydrants. Usually we use tt~e old third ambulance for hydrant repair and maintenance. Mx. Wilamosky stated it was a new ambulance - not the reserve ambulance. Mr. Boehmer commented that eryone knows we are short-handed in the Fire Department and he can see why they would possibly take a squad out and check a hydrant: a lot of times they cannot send one man to do this - especially from Station #`2 and if a call did come in they could leave anytime. Mr. Wilamosky stated he thinks it is ludricrous to send a rescue vehicle we have for health services - we have cars that are used by the Fire Chief and Asst. thief that are available; snd requested Safety Directox Roharik to look into the reason why it was ua~d. Safety Director Koharik gointed out that yesterday was a holiday - the manpower that was available probably attended to the problem, Mr. Boehmer moved to excuse the absence of Councilman Beaty, seconded by Mr. West.
