STAFF REPORT ON FIREWORKS
As previously requested by the Board of Commissioners, Mr. DeFebbo presented staff
recommendations regarding revisions to the fireworks regulations. He provided an overview of the
issue including the sale and use of fireworks and the State imposed 200 foot rule. To accommodate the
200 foot requirement and to still be able to use fireworks within the City, he suggested two possible
options: 1) provide designated, pre-determined public discharge areas that met the 200 foot rule; or 2)
provide individual ad-hoc permits to the approximate 10% of residents that could provide proof that
*Note: Minutes are a summary of the discussions; a video recording of this entire meeting is maintained by the Office of City Clerk.
(Minutes-Board of Commissioners-August 16, 2011)
their property met the requirement. However, he indicated that neither option solved the real problem or
appealed to most interests. In order to achieve accommodation and balance regarding the concerns
expressed from both sides of the issue regarding the recently adopted fireworks regulations, Mr.
DeFebbo recommended the following:
• Continue to allow the sale of all classes of fireworks;
• Limit the discharge of fireworks to nine total days in the year, June 27th through July 5th;
• Establish a permitting process for fireworks discharge on other days, limited to four hours on any
permitted day that could not extend past 9:00 p.m. nor begin before 12:00 p.m. (noon), and
require proof that the discharge would only take place in areas that met the 200 foot requirement;
• Allow fireworks to be discharged between 12:00 p.m. (noon) to 10:00 p.m. on the seven days
prior to and day after the 4th of July, and extend the time to 11:00 p.m. on the actual 4th of July
holiday;
• Focus enforcement primarily on the violation of discharge days and times, the response to direct
citizen complaints involving violations of unsafe fireworks practices and on any fire threats;
• Develop and initiate an educational campaign about how to safely and properly discharge
fireworks; and,
• Extend the distance that fireworks stands/tents could be located near gas pumps from 50 feet to
100 feet.
Mr. DeFebbo outlined each alternative proposed to improve current regulations and explained
that three draft ordinances had been prepared and provided that addressed variations of the
recommended changes. City Attorney Gene Harmon stated that the sale of fireworks was not addressed
in any of the three drafts. He reviewed the differences between the drafts and responded to questions.
Mr. DeFebbo reiterated that it was up to the Board of Commissioners to determine which proposal fit
the community best.
Comm. Waltrip commented that he would prefer not to make any decisions at this meeting to
allow more time for careful consideration. He admitted that he had not completely made up his mind
and that he was struggling with the 200 foot rule imposed by statute leaving little opportunity to legally
discharge fireworks within the City limits. In agreement, Comm. Nash also indicated that with
Ordinance No. BG2011 - 36 already on the agenda to suspend the use of fireworks at least until
November 1st, there was no need to rush to make a decision. He specified that the ordinance would
become effective Friday, August 5, 2011 following its official publication.
Anthony Moore of 3365 Fair Oaks Circle expressed concerns with people shooting off fireworks
in residential neighborhoods which did not meet the 200 foot requirement. He remarked that a recent
misfire caused a fire to ignite on his property. Although no major damage was caused, he asserted that it
should not be allowed. Mr. Moore urged the Board to consider designating areas where fireworks could
be safely used away from subdivisions.
Mayor Denning stated he concurred with Commissioners Waltrip and Nash. He indicated that
the issue was very confusing and that the Board needed to make sure its final decision would be the best
that could be done. Mayor Denning surmised all were in agreement that something needed to be done to
address the two biggest problems, which included the state imposed 200 foot requirement and the
permissible timeframe that fireworks could be discharged.
