Minutes - page 12 August 21, 1979 Waschak: We are going according to order. Council decides to make a motion they are allowed to do so. We have heard opposition, we have heard people for it and so forth. Do you 'want to speak? Gene, would you hold up please for one moment there is a gentlemen in the crowd who wishes to speak and never had the opportunity to do so. DiCarlo: He can speak under remarks. Waschak: We will let you speak under remarks. There is a motion on the floor Council. Meier: Second. Waschak: It has been moved and seconded. Are there any remarks? Sir, would you step up to the podium and state your name and address and who you represent. Nicholas: My name is Ken Nicholas, I live at 400 W. S. Boulder Rd. Louisville. I am just a citizen of Louisville and I down tonight just to hear what was going on and I am interested in the future of Louisville and after the last two speakers got up maybe I should get up myself and do alittle speaking. First off I would like to commend Council and the Administration for the fine job that they have done. I think that they have got alot of foresight ahead of them in going this route. I have been a long time member, resident of the City of Boulder and years ago way back in the early 50' s BouldE~r was starting to have growth problems, the same as Louisville, Lafayette and all the other small communities are now, but Boulder was not foresighted enough to do what Louisville is doing to get their tax base in before the re- sidential area starts to grow; and Boulder was all in those years had an awful time struggling trying to get enough tax revenues to build their facilities, the streets, water, sewer, parks, etc. that was needed. And I think you people should really be commended on a fine job here tonight. And one comment I would like to make in regards to the fire protection that this gentlemen was talking about. I think, if he will study the UBC, which is the Uniform Building Code, he will find out that adequate sprinkling systems, stand pipes, and other, the alarm systems will be put in that building so there will be no great burden on the fire department. Secondly, the tax structure that will go into the fire district will more then adequately pay for any stations equipment or man power that will need to go in that area. Wurl: What is your present job? Nicholas: I am retired. Wurl: From what. Nicholas: Fire Chief of Boulder Fire Department. Wurl: Thank you. McKee: I restate my desires for the numbers sir.
