<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br /> FROM: Heidi Heller, City Clerk <br /> <br />DATE: June 22, 2018 <br /> <br />RE: Gervais Lake Fireworks <br /> <br /> <br />A Little Canada resident, Jackie Drassal, owns a vacant parcel on the east side of Gervais Lake. <br />She has a fireworks operator certification from the State of Minnesota which allows her to put on <br />public firework displays with a permit from the City. She has done a fireworks display in <br />previous years (without a permit) on her property, and many of the neighbors around the lake <br />have been supportive of allowing the fireworks display. Ms. Drassal was contacted by the City a <br />couple of years ago and informed of the need for a permit and an insurance policy. She has <br />talked to staff, but has not applied for a permit since that initial contact. She came in recently to <br />ask about doing the display this year, and the City Administrator informed her that along with <br />the permit application, a site plan for where the fireworks would be shot from, list of type of <br />fireworks, and certificate of insurance are required, and the permit would be reviewed by the <br />Council. I have contacted the City Attorney to verify the amount of insurance that should be <br />required. <br /> <br />Staff recommends the Council discuss approval of a fireworks permit if all of the required <br />materials have been submitted prior to the meeting. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
