April 5, 2016 <br />TO: Mayor and City Council Members <br />RE: Fire Works Ordinance. <br />Dear Mayor and Council Members, <br />In the past I have been a supporter of the sale of fire works within our city to help our nonprofit groups <br />to fundraise their organizations in which for many is their sole source of revenue. However over the <br />years I've seen the Fourth of July celebration, of what is a fun event for families and friends, get out of <br />hand with more and more available illegal fireworks and believe it's time for a ban or moratorium on the <br />fireworks within Santa Ana until it can be figured out how to curtail the illegal ones. The evening of the <br />Fourth has turned into a night of "explosions", fires and someone being injured due to these illegal <br />fireworks. Not only that, in times past it seemed people were more responsible with the fireworks and <br />cleaned up when the night was over. Now you drive around town and there is the trash left for days <br />from the celebration making our neighborhoods unsightly. <br />I would encourage a ban or moratorium on fireworks to look into making the Fourth a safe and sane <br />celebration again. In lieu of the firework sale maybe the display at Centennial Park could be enhanced. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tom Lutz <br />1118 Freeman St. <br />Santa Ana, CA. <br />
