Fireworks (Strategies to Ban Fireworks, Maintain Current Municipal Code or Modify <br />the Municipal Code to Allow a Hybrid Model) — Commander Ken Gominsky {Strategic <br />Plan Goal No. 1, 2d} <br />Commander Ken Gominsky led a discussion regarding fireworks and provided a power point <br />presentation. Staff was requested to analyze and examine Fireworks as they relate to the <br />Strategic Plan's goal to expand community awareness of public safety activities, programs and <br />services that focus on risk reduction. <br />Commander Gominsky briefly summarized three options that the City may adopt as it relates to <br />the issue of Fireworks: <br />Option No. 1 —No alteration to the Municipal Code. SAPD and OCFA believe there will be no <br />change and activity increases. State will not dispose of fireworks; the fee is $75,000 bringing the <br />total cost to city to $188,590. <br />Option No. 2 — Ban Fireworks in 2017. Same activity; costs may increase due to additional <br />public outreach but then should begin to decline. <br />Option No. 3 - Hybrid Model as adopted by Anaheim. Reduce number of fireworks stands or <br />purchase at one predetermined location, identify areas where fireworks are legal and other areas <br />where they are banned. Financial would be the same. Cmdr. Gominsky was not in support of <br />this option. <br />Motion: Bring Fireworks item to City Council for discussion. <br />MOTION: Tinajero <br />VOTE: AYES: <br />NOES: <br />Motion carries. <br />SECOND: Benavides <br />Benavides, Tinajero <br />None (0) <br />13A-5 <br />
