It recently came to the Council’s attention that a new training fire was being planned by the Logan Fire & Rescue on Oak Avenue and that the house potentially had lead based paint on the exterior of the home. Hinkle shared some articles with the Mayor and council about other towns that had to deal with large lead abatement cleanups on homes that had lead paint. The council discussed the ramifications of lead contamination of neighboring properties and the potential liability of the Fire Department, homeowner and City. Curtis Martindale was present to discuss his request to have the Fire Department burn a house that he recently acquired next to him. He explained that he has already completed an asbestos test, which is the only testing required by the Iowa DNR to grant the Fire Departments permission to burn. He said that if the burn hadn’t been delayed for a couple of reasons, it would have been burnt by now. Moss mentioned that the City just spent a significant amount of money to paint the water tower and that the cost was about double due to having to abate the lead based primer. It was discussed that if the wood containing the lead was removed, possibly the burn could still be allowed. McDonald asked to place the approval of the demolition permit and training fire on the next agenda and also add an item to decide how to move forward with training fires and changes to the demolition permit process.
