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 41 42 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 15 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 pyro 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 8th Finance and Safety Meeting and will be seeking to have it placed on the March 14th consent agenda. If you have any questions, please let me know. 43 Ell THIS FORM IS INTENDED TO BE USED AS A GENERIC PUBLIC DISPLAY PERMIT FOR THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION AND.PYROTECHNIC OPERATORS WITHIN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON :01 :144 Lei a INVAIT101 V 12VID] 1**i:MVfi:WJ Kk LA Applicant Name of Event Sounders S2 Home Games Street Address 14800 Starfire Way City Tukwila County King Event Date March 25, 2016 Event Time 7:30 ❑ AM [21 PM Applicant's/Sponsor's Name Sounders S2 Phone No. 206-512-1210 Pyrotechnic Operator Michelle Wuscher License No. 16-1296 Experienced Assistant's Name Rick Olsen - General Display Company Name Advance Entertainment Techn Phone No. 410-355-2055 Attach a separate piece of paper and/or copies of the following documents: • The number of set pieces, shells (specify single or multiple break), and other items. • The manner and place of storage of such fireworks prior to the display, • A diagram of the grounds on which the display is to be held showing the point at which the fireworks are to be discharged; the location of all buildings, highways, and other lines of communication; the lines behind which the audience will be restrained; and the location of all nearby trees, telegraph or telephone lines, or other overhead obstruction. • Documentary proof of procurement of Surety bond or public liability insurance, ILocal Fire Code Authority I Authority Having Jurisdiction Tukwila Fire Department Name of Permitting Official Don Tomaso Title Fire Marshal Phone No. 206-575-4407 Permit Granted: F-1 Yes 2] Yes, with Restrictions (see "Notations" below) ❑ No Restrictions/Notations Have standby personnel with portable fire extinguishers, both dry chemical and water based within 50' of discharge locations.

Staff is seeking Council approval of a lease agreement with the Tukwila Historical Society for continued occupation of the Tukwila Grade School /Old City Hall located at 14475 59th Avenue South. The previous lease expired in September 2015 and the Society's use of the building is considered mutually beneficial. The proposed lease agreement does not charge a base rent but requires the Society to continue to secure funding for upkeep and repairs, to provide general upkeep, and to develop educational programming for youth regarding the history of Tukwila and the Duwamish /Green River Valley. The proposed term is for five years with an option for the Mayor to execute an extension for an additional five years. The agreement permits the Society to rent the space under certain circumstances, while allowing the City to terminate the rental right if there are disturbances or impacts to neighbors. The City will be responsible for utilities,janitorial, cleaning and minor repairs under $1,200 per year. Ms. Jones - Brown, President of the Historical Society, stated a concern with the proposed length of the lease, citing guidance from the State that certain grant applications require a minimum 13 -year lease.
