Meeting
4.c.
To: Finance and Safety Committee
From: Lucy Lauterbach
Date: June 16, 2003
Subject: 4 of July Fireworks Permit Approval
As is usual, the fireworks permit is coming to Council for approval at the last minute. There are
several layers of approval needed for the permit, and the city's permission is the last stop. If the
committee approves, it can be forwarded to the meeting on June 23rd.
There is still one missing piece of information. Don Tomaso is still waiting for the insurance
form to get to him. It has been promised, but is not available at tonight's meeting. It will be here
before Council approval next week.
If the committee is comfortable recommending approval of the permit, it will be welcome.
However, if the city is to have fireworks on the 4 it will need to be on the Council agenda for
the special meeting next week in any case. If you choose to recommend approval, the findings in
the Don Tomas memo (Attachment 1) and on the June 12 memo to Tom Whitacre (Attachment
2) can be included as conditions.

Public Fireworks Display at Fort Dent Park
June 13, 2003
I have reviewed the information provided by Mr. Tom Whitacre, who has applied
for the permit for a public fireworks display at Fort Dent Park, 7200 Fort Dent
Way. Mr. Whitacre is a licensed Pyrotechnic Operator with the State of
Washington and with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Fire Arms. Mr.
Whitacre is also licensed to transport fire works by the State Department of
licensing.
The display will be held in conjunction with the City's planned event on the 4"' of
July, "Family Fun at the Fort", being organized by the Park and Recreation
Department. This will be a 25 to 30 minute show starting at approximately 2200
hours. The fireworks will be transported to the site in the AM of July 4 and kept
under the required supervision while on location, until they are discharged. The
mortar tubes and other equipment will be brought to the location on July 3.
The application was reviewed according to WAC 212 -17 and accepted industry
standards, and I found everything is within these guidelines with one exception,
the insurance certificate has not yet arrived. Mr. Whitacre did provide a copy of
the receipt as proof of payment for this policy, and the certificate should be
arriving any day.
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
Nicholas J. Olives, Fire Chief
I do have some concerns in regard to the location this year in relation to the Rail
Road right of way, baseball fields and the limited access this allows. In addition a
portion of the fall out area includes a portion of a commercial property within the
City of Renton. I have contacted Renton Fire Officials and have not received a
response at the time of this memo. I was not able to ascertain if Renton has a
concern with the commercial property being in the fall out area. Also crowd
control can be a potential issue. To mitigate these issues, I believe the following
measures should be done.
Stage two fire apparatus at the site, one apparatus on each side of
the Railroad right of way. Apparatus shall be out of service during
the display and for 30 minutes following display.

ban fireworks, 25 votes opposing a ban, and 125 votes for keeping the then current restriction of
allowing the discharge of fireworks only on July 4th, and
WHEREAS, the City Council found public opinion too closely divided between those
wanting and those not wanting a ban on fireworks to warrant a change in the ordinance without

ing whether citizens supported or opposed a ban on the sale and discharge of fireworks, and the
vote tally was 2,432 voters supporting a ban and 2,212 opposing a ban, leaving a margin of 52.3%
