MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING
March 23, 1978 - 8:00 A.M.
Members Present: Gene Walters, Dan Blonigen, Phil White.
Members Absent: Con Johnson, Arve Grimsmo.
Also Present: J. W. Miller, Building Inspector.
Purpose of the meeting was to discuss whether Cedarcrest Apartments for
the elderly should be required to install sprinkler heads in the stairwells
and elevator shaft.
Jay Miller, building inspector, felt that the sprinkler system should be
installed in both locations, even though the state building code does not
specifically require them.
Mr. John Bergstad, Cedarcrest developer, felt that the existing sprinklers
were more than adequate compared to similar apartment structures being built
across Minnesota.
The council consensus was to have O.S.M., city engineer, review a set of
sprinkler plans to obtain their opinion in regards to the necessity of
requiring sprinklers in the stairwells and elevator shaft.
The consensus was to base their decision on the recommendations of John
Badalich, city engineer.
Meeting adjourned.
