AGENDA ITEM 4A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Ann J. Blair, City Clerk MEETING DATE: June 9, 2003 TOPIC: Resolution No. 03 -89, Approving New Fireworks Permit for SuperTarget Store VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority BACKGROUND: Attached is a resolution approving an application for a Fireworks Permit submitted by SuperTarget. As you may be aware, this is a new permit; SuperTarget was not previously aware that the City had an Ordinance in place in regard to sale of fireworks within the City. Prior to recommencing sale of legal fireworks products, Council approval of a fireworks p is required, under City Ordinance No. 06 -02. The Lino Lakes Police Department conducted a background investigation relevant to this business and found no problems, nor any reason to deny the application. A copy of the report is attached. In accordance with Lino Lakes City Ordinance No. 06 -02, City Code, Section 1002.10, Concerning Sale, Possession and Use of Consumer Fireworks, this business meets the qualifications for a Fireworks Permit. Sale of fireworks is also regulated by state statute, and new legislation was enacted just last week which has a bearing upon this application. Sale of fireworks is further regulated by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards; in this case, NFPA Standard 1124 applies. In order to address two provisions of the newly enacted legislation (which is already in effect) which are not consistent with Ordinance No. 06 -02, Staff has agreed to reduce the amount of the fees and to reduce the amount of liability insurance required. The applicant agrees with this approach. Therefore, the annual permit fee in this case will be $100, and the amount of liability insurance will be $300,000.00. The remaining provisions of City Ordinance No. 06 -02, which are not inconsistent with new legislation, remain in full force and effect.f The applicant is required to check photo identification of purchasers, as sales to persons unider age 18 is prohibited. An annual police background investigation fee of $150 (individual) or $350 (corporate) will then apply for renewals, and annual compliance checks will be required. The applicant is fully aware license approval is subject to all the fees, provisions and conditions of the laws of the city, state and of the federal government.
