Home My WebLink AboutFS 2016-03-08 Item 2A - Permit - Sounders S2 Fireworks Permit for 2016 Soccer Season at Starfire Sports ComplexCity of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Finance and Safety FROM: Interim Chief Flores BY: Don Tomaso, Fire Marshal CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: February 29, 2016 SUBJECT: Sounders S2 Fireworks Permit ISSUE The Sounders S2 has applied for a fireworks permit for the 2016 soccer season. BACKGROUND The Sounders S2 has requested a fireworks permit pursuant to RCW 70.77 and TMC 8.12.020(3). They will be using proximity type fireworks called "GERBS ": these specialty fireworks emit a shower of sparks that quickly extinguish before they fall to the ground or turf The Sounders Men's Group also conducts the same style event at Century Link Field home games. DISCUSSION The Sounders S2 will be using the fireworks at select home games over the course of the 15 home games this season and any post- season S2 home games. If the S2 proposes any additional fireworks other than the GERBS, it will be reviewed on a case by case basis for compliance and safety. The proposed GERB fireworks have been reviewed for the intended use and fall within the manufacturer's recommendations. Starfire Sports is supportive of this request and has provided a letter of support. FINANCIAL IMPACT None RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the application be approved and placed on the March 14, 2016 consent agenda. ATTACHMENTS Memo to Interim Chief Flores dated February 29, 2016 Washington State Public Fireworks Display Permit Packet Letter from Starfire Sports dated February 29, 2016 S2 Home Game Schedule 2 DATE: February 29, 2016 TO: Interim Chief Flores FROM: Don Tomaso, Fire Marshal SUBJECT: Sounders S2 Fireworks Permit Application The Sounders S2 has applied for a fireworks permit to utilize proximity fireworks called GERBS for select home games this season at Starfire Sports stadium. There are 1.5 scheduled home games and an undetermined number of potential post season games. Starfire Sports has also provided a letter of support for this permit at their stadium GERBS emit a shower of sparks into the air that extinguish before falling to the ground or turf and are commonly used at sporting and concert events. The company preforming the show is Advanced Entertainment Technologies, DBA Image Engineering. The firm has supplied the required application and certificate of insurance as required by RCW 70.77 and TMC 8.12, and provided the current copy of the pyro technician's license. I conducted additional research on Image Engineering. They conduct special effects for a variety of public sporting and concert venues across the country, and have multiple offices in several major cities, such has Seattle, Los Angles and Baltimore. They have provided gyro technical services to The Wiz Man, LA Galaxy Radio Show, Kevin Hart — Let Me Explain Tour and the Baltimore Ravens. I have scheduled this fireworks permit for the March 81h Finance and Safety Meeting and will be seeking to have it placed on the March 141h consent agenda.
