Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 4,2017 Page 16 At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Chief O'Neill clarified that even a 20' x 20' tent erected to facilitate a private party (e.g. graduation) applied if erected within the city. While a lot of people may not be aware of this required inspec- tion given the few inspections currently performed each year, Chief O'Neill noted that there was a process if involving an outdoor occurrence, with application to the Community Development Department to assure it meets building and/or land use codes. Once they completed their initial review, Chief O'Neill advised that the Fire Department was then consulted for their review if and when a tent was involved. Chief O'Neill recognized that there were probably a number of viola- tions occurring unless the departments were made aware or unless permits were directed to them. City Manager Trudgeon further clarified that a typical graduation party would not require a temporary land use permit. Councilmember Laliberte questioned the annual Friends of Roseville Parks events that involved upwards of sixty tents. Chief O'Neill responded that the department inspected them as they were set up; and similarly with the recent Brew event held, the city did so per event. Chief O'Neill clarified that this did not serve as a revenue source for the city, but was mandated by fire code allowing the city to make sure these structures and events remained safe for all parties involved. Councilmember Laliberte stated that her concern was that those organizations at- tempting to raise money for worthy causes had some money left in the end. Councilmember Etten suggested that the fee schedule be revised for 2018 to spec- ify that 400 square footage to avoid future confusion, with concurrence by Mayor Roe for that additional comment on page 15 under notes (b). Chief O'Neill elaborated further by noting that at those larger events, the depart- ment was concerned about crowd management and thins consistent with food trucks and use of propane to ensure the overall safety of the event(s) being con- ducted anywhere there was a large group of people and propane was being used. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1536 (Attachment A) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Chapter 314.05, Fee Schedule — Adopting the 2018 Fee Schedule (Attachment C);" as amended to provide comment on page 15 to specify tents of 400 square feet or larger. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None.
