Resolution declared adopted. <br />R>JGULATION The Fire Chief appeared before the Council and recommended that the City <br />O~ FIREWORKS enact an ordinance regulating the sale of fireworks. The Chief presented the <br />SALLS Council with a draft ordinance for their review. Anderson suggested some <br />modifications to Sections 4. I (language appears missing), 4.8 (storage issues), <br />and 5.1 (reference to public assembly is overly broad) as contained i^ the draft. <br />Montour asked if any of the surrounding cities were considering similar <br />ordinances. "1'he Chief replied that many are. The Chief also noted that the <br />main concern is with the storage of fire works and the resulting fire load that <br />this storage has. The Chief also pointed out that the draft ordinance would <br />I>rohibit the use of fireworks in any of the City's parks or at places of public <br />gathering. The concern is with the exposure of other people to these <br />fireworks. Fahey noted that sparklers and other fireworks would create a mess <br />in the parks as well as a hazard given that people are likely to discard wires on <br />the gI'OLI I1d. <br />Council felt the City Attorney should review the draft ordinance and put it into <br />the proper format. In the meantime, a moratorium should be put in place <br />prohibiting the sale of fu~eworks in the City until a regulating a'dinance is <br />adopted. <br />Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOI UT/ON NO. 2002-5-]24 - D/RECT'/NG THF' CITYATTORNEY <br />TO PREPARE AN APPROPRIATE FIREWORKS REGULATING <br />ORDINANCE AS D/.SCUSSED AND /N(.`LUDING TF/E COMMENTS OI% <br />COUNCIL, MEMBER ANDER.40N <br />i'he foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. <br />Ayes (5) Fahey, Scalze, Anderson, Montour, LaValle. <br />Nays (0).
