In January 2014, Ms. Kenzie Mosher informed the clients at the Sioux Rapids ""dance studio"" that a construction project commence of which the studio's entrance and exit was moved to the south side of the building.\r
\r
After learning of this project, I observed that the only entrance and exit was no more than 10 feet from a 1000 gallon propane tank which was not marked nor was it secured by fencing, in accordance to Iowa State Fire Codes.\r
\r
I had to call the state Fire Marshal Division for the state of Iowa regarding this issue along with the fact that the construction site was being managed by an unlicensed and unregistered contractor, who is the brother of the mayor.\r
\r
The State Fire Marshal has cited their dance studio with seven separate violations including the issue with the 1000 gallon propane tank as well as learning that there were unsecure flammable materials in the basement of the dance studio.\r
\r
Ms. Mosher and Mr. Mosher each knew about this project as well as the property owner knew about this project for almost two years and waited to inform the clients of Impulse Dance Studio so that no one would rock the boat regarding the hazardous conditions at this project.\r
\r
I have also advised the state DOT, since this project is right along a state highway (Highway 71) as well as OSHA since this project is also endangering employees of at last two different commercial businesses.\r
\r
I would strongly advise those that are seeking to enroll their children in a dance studio to look elsewhere because the Moshers' certainly do not care about our kids and their safety.\r
\r
Without a doubt, Ms. Mosher is not to be trusted with your children.
