Scptember 16, 1992 Everett Pire Dcparuncnt 2811 Oakes Svicet Gverett, WA 9R201 Atm: Mr. Eiob Schaller i iro �tarshall Dear Me Schaller: ��od�� SEP 2 1 1992 Fire Department Barly in July, I was finall�� able to realize a li(c-long goal, and signcd a purchase agreement for a ncw hume. Although the house is small, just over 1,000 syuarc fcet, it has a 2 car garage and a µurkable (loor plan my small family will love. Thcre's a panvy and laundry area (or ihe ��ife, my son «�ill havc his own room, and cve� a nice back }•ard for Chcster, our dog. 1'm a native 1Vashingtonian, bom and raiscd in Anacortcs. 1'vc txen ::mployed at TRAMCO on Painc ficld for IS years. Our home is being construc�ed by lhe Trcdway Corporation, and during the pemiit process, Kathy Tredway discovered that your departnxm myuired a sprinkicr system be installed. 5he proceeded to obtain a bid for the systcm from Robinson Plumbing. The cost o( the system required extra funds from me to allow thc project to continue. I h�d a conversation with the people at Public \�'orl:s conceming costs for the exva fire service, and was infomied, much to my dismay, that the fire service and standard service reyuire that 1 separate wnter meters, and 1 Nould bc assessed a monthly fee for U�e fire scrvice merer, even though no water is used. Thcir potition is that the meter must be read by their people, therefore a bill must lx generated. This makes m� rcsidential fire protection rale high, as I pay tbr it with my taxes, and again with my bi-monthly water bill. This infom�ation all came from Mr. Myron Tollefson of Public Works. Today I had the plcasure of inecting a(cllow from }our office. Sam Prcston was very infomiative about the issue, and explaincd that the reason that the sprinkler system was specified on the building pcnnit was not duc to dic distance from a fire hydrant, but due to nccess. It see�r.s there is concern, thnt in thc cvcnt o( a fire, Uiat the eyuipment dispalchcd could not readil} tum around nt the sile. I asked Sam what I coulA do to solve the problem, and he recommenAed that 1 write you this Icuer, and present my appenl. Please understand that I do want a safe cnvironment for my family, and I also want to cnsure that your fire fighters also can react in a manner that does not jcopardize their safety on the job.
