You not only lie in them, you misspell in them to. It is designed for access to maintenance boiler room etc. They dont have a key to your room.

Your comprehension is faulty. The code exempts dwelling units. It exempts Single Family or Two Family Dwelling Units. For apartment complexes it says keys will be required for all other rooms as specified in plan review. Rooms does not mean individual apartment dwelling units.

The key word which I think we can agree on is emergency. Outside of an actual emergency or a reasonable suspicion of one (FD sees smoke or paramedics were sent after a hang up 911 call) I would expect a reasonable person to take steps to protect themselves and their property from any intruder.

The headline is BS. No one is requiring that residents give their keys up to the City.

Lock boxes have been a condition of a business permit in many cities. They are supposed to be for the fire department and other emergency personnel to be able to get into a business if they need to.

Somehow I never imagined a fireman fumbling for the key to a lockbox when he had an axe at his ready and a plate glass window in front of him.

“Somehow I never imagined a fireman fumbling for the key to a lockbox when he had an axe at his ready and a plate glass window in front of him.”

Years ago, apartment building I was living at had arson fire. We evacuated all the apartments without issue. When fireman showed up they took door off my apartment with pry bars, if they had tried door knob they could have walked in, left it unlocked as I was leaving.

I said as much to my father (about leaving door unlocked), his comment was if you had the training to remove a door why not use it.

...Enshayan was working part time when he joined the council but now serves as director of the University of Northern Iowa Center for Energy and Environmental Education. He will finish his council term, which runs through the end of the year.

But he added the effort is all part of the democratic process -— sometimes your ideas win and sometimes they don’t. Through his two terms, Enshayan has been on the short end of more than his share of 5-2 or 6-1 votes, but he said he doesn’t take those results personally.

Enshayan has a few ideas he feels Cedar Falls needs to address, no matter who fills the council seats in the fall. He would like to see an emphasis on in-fill development and a move away from building homes and businesses on the city’s outskirts. Additional efforts for energy efficiency would be another priority.

Finally, and what Enshayan sees as most important, he thinks city government needs to be more transparent in its decisions.

Enshayan has long bemoaned the lack of discussion about many issues and chose not to participate when city staffers on occasion called in council members two at a time to talk about important matters. The practice is legal, but skirts open meeting laws.

...Enshayan decided he will not run for re-election and will finish up next winter after an eight-year run on the council. When Enshayan made his decision, it cemented Schmidt’s own choice.

Schmidt is the owner of Art Store and More, located on the parkade. The business first opened in 1997 and moved to the downtown location eight years ago.

Schmidt prides herself on her ability to be a part of a team and doesn’t have any hot button issues on her agenda for the council.

“I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT SPRAWL. I’m a reasonable person, but I think we need to think about that,” she said...

Interesting that they both like the (UN) village thing...

You have explained it the way I understand it. Good job. FR remains a place to be informed on an issue.

Now if you had said you built the fire systems and subcontracted the building I might be able to ask you, who the heck out there services the fire sprinkler system that was installed in my single family residence home.

Seems there is just not enough business out there to justify a guy with a route to keep the system in order.

Every once in a while a house low pressure bell will ring just for a bit. I figure it is low water pressure in the neighborhood during peak usage.

I’d give them keys, I’d put 45-50 different keys to different locks to the house, each one a different lock or switch or whatever.

Let the filthy stinking bastards spend half a day trying to figure out which is which. It’ll be worth a laugh or three.

"Rooms does not mean individual apartment dwelling units."

What does this mean: "parts of buildings served by an internal automatic fire detection..." Smoke detector in an apartment, maybe?

Well what do you know? It's a former government employee defending a government scheme to further erode freedom. Still in the union? Plan approval. So you were the guy with totalitarian authority to enforce ridiculous, arbitrary, and contradictory codes... stealing my money and time. Thank you sir, may I have another?

How about you give me your keys, Mr. Government Man? I promise to be responsible. I'll even write it down and get a toady to vouch for me.

“When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of freedom to Americans...” “And so a lot of people say there’s too much personal freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it. That’s what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the Housing Projects, about how we’re going to have weapon sweeps and more things like that to try to make the people feel safer in their communities”—President Bill Clinton 3-22-94, MTV’s “Enough is Enough”

Does TSA come to your mind when you read this?
“We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans..”—
Bill Clinton USA Today—3-11-93, page 2a

I have read that they take even greater joy in soaking valuables with gallons and gallons of water.
