Zhang said Vista Oncology prepares a

the hazardous chemicals on site, and gi
instruction on how to deal properly han¢
them.
Mike Patti, assistant fire chief for Mas

"The MSDS is information necessary

While the city argues that its require-
ments are routine, Zhang sid. Vista had
no problems applying for similar permits in
Olympia, where it has two offices.
While some of the codes relating to the
permit process are SheltOn Municipal
Codes, many come from the International
Building Code and Internatioial Fire Code.
"There are some legitimate questions he
asked ... we hired an architect," Zhang said.
"In terms of the chemicals he's going well
beyond his authority."
If Vista continues to feel hrassed by the
city's building department, zhang saicl the
company may consider legal gction.
