isn't "hard and fast", however the more hydrants <br />available .in an area allows fire equipment to come <br />closer to the structure itself. There are also <br />other alternatives such as sprinkling a building. <br />Dave Stahl, Homart Development Co., 400 So. <br />McCaslin Blvd., asked who has the ultimate <br />authority and responsibility in the interpretation <br />of the Fire Code as it relates to the Municipal <br />Ordinances and if it is clear in the adoption of <br />this Ordinance. <br />Rautenstraus stated that it is not addressed in <br />this particular Ordinance.

However, Homart's <br />property is within the Louisville Fire District <br />which is an entity unto itself and therefore would <br />also be responsible to that authority. <br />Dhieux stated that there are provisions within the <br />Colorado Revised Statutes where the Fire District <br />still has some jurisdiction over some codes to be <br />enforced within municipalities. <br />Hundley stated that the City accepts the <br />responsibility of ultimate enforcement of this or <br />any ordinance. Hundley suggested that if Council <br />so desired, he and Rautenstraus would continue to <br />review this question to see if there is any way to <br />make it clearer with regard to lines of authority. <br />In response to a question by Sackett regarding <br />maintenance of fire hydrants, Phare explained that <br />the Fire District routinely maintains them and <br />from time to time the City has also performed this <br />3 <br />
