SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.

Re: Uniform Egress Window Policy
The Department of Safety and Inspections recognizes that the various code requirements for egress windows are confusing and need clarity so that property
owners will know what the requirements are when we inspect their properties.
An egress window is very important because it is a life safety means of escape from smoke and/or fire and other potential hazardous conditions. The Department
of Safety and Inspections wants to emphasize the public safety of all residents by establishing the following uniform policy for the size of egress windows for
residential housing.
Department of Safety and Inspection Egress Window Policy
The Minnesota State Fire Code, which has been adopted by the City of Saint Paul, applies to existing buildings when: 1) identified in specific sections of the fire
code; and 2) when, in the opinion of the Fire Marshal, a structure, facility or condition constitutes a distinct hazard to life and property. Minn. R. 751 1.0102
(IFC 102.1).
Under the Minnesota State Fire Code, escape windows in existing buildings that
were installed prior to April 11, 1983 must have a clear opening of at least 20 inches in width, 24 inches in height g& 5 square feet of entire glazed opening
area, with a finished sill height of no more than 48 inches. Minn. R. 751 1.1026
(IFC 1026.1). Windows not meeting this requirement must be upgraded in order to satisfy the Minnesota State Fire Code.
DSI Egress Window Policy-Page 2
In addition, the Fire Marshal has declared that all escape windows with openings less than 20 inches in width, 24 inches in height & 5 square feet of entire glazed
area with a finished sill height of no more than 48 inches to be a distinct hazard to life and property. (See Fire Marshal Steve Zaccard's Policy Memo, April 2009).
Window Policy:
Based on the Minnesota State Fire Code, windows in existing structures must have
a clear opening of at least 20 inches in width, 24 inches in height & at least 5
square feet of entire clear glazed area, with a finished sill height of no more than 48 inches. In addition, replacement windows cannot be smaller than the originally approved windows, unless the originally approved windows exceed the current
building code.
Exceptions:
The only exception to the above policy that may be granted by the Department of
Safety and Inspections is for previously installed replacement windows that were
installed under permit, inspected, and approved by the Department of Safety and Inspections prior to April 28,2009.
Appeals:
Orders on an egress windows not meeting these specific requirements can be appealed to the City Council via the City's Legislative Hearing Officer. The
Council will consider the benefit to be obtained by complying with the Fire Marshal's orders and the effect on affordable housing, provided that the spirit of
the code is complied with and public safety is secured. (Minn. Stat. 299F.011,
subd. 5b).
Please direct any questions regarding this policy to Jim Bloom, the Saint Paul
Building Offical266- 9071or Mr. Dick Lippert, the Manager of Inspections for the
Department of Safety and Inspections. 651-266- 1922
Now there you have, specifics. Was that too hard to do?
This violates Morris vs. Sax ruling from the Supremes. Criminal inspectors need to be taken into custody. Is Nancy Lazaryan available Bob?
She is on probation, so no.
What did Nancy do?
She assaulted a city employee and harassed and threatened the entire legislature. The capitol police escorted her out of the capitol screaming about her rights as a journalist in April. She was given a restraining order to stay away from the capitol and the legislators. She the same thing from the city.
Typical Nutty Nancy.
Bob gave Nancy the boot here too. Who doesn'r give her the boot. She is selfish, abrasive, and goofy like Sharon. By the way she attempted to arrest Humphrey's of DSI. What was she thinking? DAH DEE DEE DUMB!

Thank you for the information on Nancy.
