JOHN MCFARLAND, City Administrator; LINDA COHEN, City Attorney; RON WALDNER, Police Chief; LUCY LAUTERBACH, Council Analyst; STEVE LANCASTER, DCD Director; ROSS EARNST, Public Works Director. Randy King, 15819 53rd Avenue South, expressed his desire to see fire works banned in the City. He said the scene at Crystal Springs Park (the day after the Fourth) resembled the aftermath of a war zone. Fire works cause property damage, injuries, and invite many other unnecessary problems into the City. City Administrator McFarland commented that there were a number of young people at Crystal Springs Parks, on the Fourth, participating not only in setting off fireworks, but in drinking and vandalism. The Fire Department was on the scene and they finally had to call for police backup. McFarland says he has received a number of calls from citizens asking about the possibility of a fire works ban in the City. Councilmember Duffie says the situation has gotten completely out of hand, and that he will definitely support any legislation on a ban. The Council requested copies of the police reports resulting from the Fourth of July holiday incidents, and agreed to forward this issue to the next Finance and Safety Committee meeting for further discussion.
