REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING HELD APRIL 16 1984
ADMIN. 41 - 84
SUBJECT: SOLINA COMMUNITY CENTRE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. That this report be received;
2. That the Solina Hall Board be advised that the recommendations
of Fire Chief Aldridge concerning the installation of a fire alarm system
was not a requirement but rather a suggested improvement.
Further, that the Town will not be able to take any action on the
suggested installation of a fire alarm system during 1984;
3. That Council consider the remaining requests of the Solina Hall
Board; and
4. That the Hall Board be advised of Council's decision.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
At the February 27th 1984 meeting of Council, correspondence was received
from the Solina Community Hall Board concerning capital requirements
they were considering in 1984. By Council resolution #C-124-84, the
correspondence was referred to the Ad Hoc Committee reviewing Town
owned buildings. While it is suggested by the Fire Chief that consideration
be given to installing a fire alarm system, it is not required by the Ontario
Fire Code.
The correspondence from the Community Hall Board suggests that
a fire alarm system would cost $10,000. Given the anticipated retro -fit
costs to other Town owned buildings, in order to meet the Ontario Fire Code
and budget limitations, it is not recommended that funding be granted
for the fire alarm system this year. p

ADMIN. 41 - 84
The Solina Community Hall Board indicated in their February 15th letter
that capital improvements in the order of $40,000 are planned.throughout
the year. Improvements include:
Replace Furnace 10,000
Replacement of windows 7,500
Decorating Main Hall 5,000
Insulation and new roof 6,000
Implementation of Health
Inspection recommendations 1,500
Fire Alarm System 10,000
Total Planned Improvements $40,000
The Board has not requested a specific amount from Council. They
are requesting a grant to assist in the implementation of the noted
projects.
Traditionally, staff have not been requested to recommend the disposition
of each grant request. As such it would seem appropriate,now that the
Ad Hoc Committee has filed its report,to deal with the Hall Board's
request. Staff would note, however, that energy conservation measures
as well as health and fire safety should be given priority over
cosmetic improvements.
For the information of Councillors, I am attaching copies of related
correspondence.
Respectfully submitted,
DSJ:nof David S. Johnston, M.C.I.P.,

Attention: 'Mrs. B. Watson.
Dear Mrs. Watson:
r Re: Fire inspection of the Solina Community Centre -
November 8, 1983.
The following was noted during this inspection and -I would recommend
that:
All portable fire extinguishers require maintenance.
The Ontario Fire Code states that a visual monthly
' check be carried out and a yearly maintenance be
performed. Each portable extinguisher shall have a
tag securely attached to it showing the maintenance
<I. or recharge date, the service agency and the signature
of the,person who performed the service.
L,would suggest a single stage fire alarm system be installed with a
number of heat detectors located on each level and a pull box station located
at the front main floor exit and the "basement area. A system of this type would
give complete building coverage. Possibly an alarm could be connected and placed
outside of the building, which would alertneighboursof a fire in the building
enabling them to call the Fire Department.
The smoke detectors donated to the Community Centre are basically for
residential type use. The detectors are not interconnectable, so if one alarm
sounded in the basement area the people upstairs would not hear it. Smoke detectors
of this type are not recommended for assembly occupancy.

r
Solina Community Hall - 2 - November 9, 1983.
A new fire alarm system would afford needed protection for occupants
C ( and the building.
Please contact this office if further information is required. Thank-
you for your interest in Fire Prevention and Fire Safety.
Yours truly,
JA/sr J. Aldridge,
Fire Chief.
