DATE RECORD OF COUNCIL ACTION 12/09/19 MTG. DATE ATTACHMENTS 12/09/19 Informational Memorandum with attachments 25 26 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Finance Committee FROM: Ben Hayman, Fire Marshal BY: Ben Hayman, Fire Marshal CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: December 4, 2019 SUBJECT: Fire Marshal authorization to approve Lam's Seafood fireworks application ISSUE Requesting Council to authorize the Fire Marshal to approve the Lam's Seafood fireworks application when they submit all the required documentation. BACKGROUND Lam's Seafood Asian Market is holding a grand opening celebration on January 3, 2020. They recently submitted Special Event permit for the grand opening. Lam's Seafood would like to set off fireworks at the beginning of the event. The use of fireworks will require Lam's Seafood to submit a separate application for Fireworks review and approval. City of Tukwila Ordinance 1787 requires the Fire Marshal to review fireworks applications for compliance with the law and report the findings to City Council. Pursuant to TMC 8.12.020(3)(d), the City Council must review permits for the public display of fireworks and then grant, deny, or grant with conditions such permit. In this instance, the permit applicant has not been able to gather all permit -required information in time for Council's review. It is anticipated that the permit applicant will be able to provide all necessary information for Fire Marshal to review, before the event is scheduled to take place. DISCUSSION If City Council supports this streamlined approach for this Fireworks approval process, the Fire Marshal would like to submit an update to Ordinance 1787 at a future date. The proposed update would streamline the approval process where the City Council delegates the authority to approve fireworks permits to the Fire Marshal, if all permit requirements are met. These requirements include compliance with state statutes and local ordinances. RECOMMENDATION The Fire Marshal seeks the City Council's approval of the fireworks permit, subject to the Fire Marshal's subsequent determination that all permit requirements, including compliance with state statutes and local ordinances, have been met and seeks delegation of the authority to approve the fireworks permit to the Fire Marshal, if all permit requirements are met. If permit requirements are not met, the fireworks permit 27 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 would be denied. The Special Event permit can still be approved, but without the use of fireworks.

I am writing this letter to ask for your permission for our market grand opening event. I have attached the Special Event Permit Application, included some drawings, photos, map for your reference. As you can see in the application form. We will have some activities during grand opening such as Lion & Dragon Dance, Ribbon Cutting, Music and especially Ceremonial Firecrackers. We would like to set off the Ceremonial Firecrackers during the event. It will happen in 10-15 minutes while the Lion & Dragon Dancing show. We had been used Ceremonial Firecrackers in the past year at our Seattle store. Currently, we are still in process to finding a licensed pyrotechnics technician to oversee the use of the firecrackers. We will not use the firecracker until we get your permission and have a licensed pyrotechnics technician. Hopefully, you will allow us to set off the Ceremonial Firecrackers. And will allow us to have the grand opening show. Thank you very much for your time Honorable Council Members. I look forward to hearing from you.
