1997 UNIFORM FIRE CODE AND STANDARDS, WITH AMENDMENTS, WITHIN THE DISTRICT'S
UNINCORPORATED PORTIONS OF WELD COUNTY: Bruce Barker,County Attorney,stated the LaSalle
Fire Protection District has requested the Board consent to its enforcement of the 1997 edition of the

and there is evidence of published notification when the matter was considered by the Town. Responding
to Commissioner Geile, Mr. Barker stated Jeff Reif, Department of Building Inspection, indicated he did
not foresee any conflicts between the 1997 edition and the Building Codes which have been adopted by
Weld County. Commissioner Jerke stated the County considers land use in the unincorporated areas and
he wants to ensure that consenting to enforcement will not give the Fire Protection District veto power over
the decisions of the Board. Jason Goodale, LaSalle Fire Protection District representative, stated the Fire
Code specifies that the Fire Chief may alter the Code in any way as he sees fit. He stated their primary
goal is to provide safety for the public, not restrict the development plans of the area residents, so they

unanimously.

authorize the Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Long, the motion carried unanimously.
