Even through this is a popular event and everyone has the <br />best of intentions, I don't believe there is any way to allow this event in the old <br />Waterworks building. <br /> <br />The haunted house actually falls under the "special amusement building" category <br />in the Minnesota Fire Code and requires many items such as an alarm system that <br />is not installed in this building at this time. There also may be a need for automatic <br />fire sprinkler protection. <br /> <br />The liability for everyone involved is huge if a child should get hurt in a facility <br />like this because we allowed the event to happen in a structure that did not meet <br />requirements. <br /> <br />Even though there is a huge liability, the main concern is that we have a safe <br />location for such an event. Heaven forbid if some young child was injured or worse <br />yet killed because we didn't enforce the rules. <br /> <br />):(J <br />
