BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila has been sponsoring a family oriented 4th of July celebration for the last 12 years. This is one of the most successful City sponsored events in terms of public attendance and participation. This event will draw in excess of 5,000 people to the park to view and participate in the festivities scheduled by Parks and Recreation. DISCUSSION Parks and Recreation has retained the same fireworks company, Western Display Fireworks, Ltd., a company with 61 years of experience in public displays. We will use the same location as last year to avoid protecting the sports turf fields in the Northeast corner of the facility. This fireworks discharge location will be in the Southwest corner of the facility on the natural grass fields. Additionally, the largest aerial shell will be reduced from 6" to 3 "; this allows for a smaller safety perimeter. Western Display has also proposed several ground displays that the crowd will be able to see when looking south. FINANCIAL IMPACT This event is funded through the Parks and Recreation Department. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council approve the permit at the June 17, 2013 Regular Meeting under the Consent Agenda.

Olivas, Fire Chief Date: May 21, 2013 To: Acting Chief Flores From: B/C Tomaso, Fire Marshal Re: Public Fireworks Display Permit I have reviewed the permit application information provided by Western Display Fireworks, Ltd. They have applied for the permit for a public fireworks display at the Starfire Sports Complex, 14600 Starfire Way. Western Display is a licensed Pyrotechnic Company with the State of Washington and with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms. The display will be held in conjunction with the City's planned event on the 4th of July, "Family Fun at the Fort", being organized by the Parks and Recreation Department. This will be a 30 to 40 minute show starting at approximately 2200 hours. The fireworks will be transported to the site in the AM of July 4th and will be under the required supervision until they are discharged. The mortar tubes and other equipment will be brought to the location on July 4th as well. The application was reviewed to WAC 212 -17 and accepted industry standards, and we find everything is within these guidelines. This year the display will be in the Southwest corner of the facility. This change has eliminated the concerns regarding the railroad right — of — way, Seattle Sounders FC practice fields and the limited access this allows. In addition, we will no longer have a portion of the fallout area within the City of Renton. We will however, have a small portion of the 6720 Fort Dent Way Office building within the South edge of the fallout zone. Crowd control can be a potential issue, as the crowd that assembles to watch the fire works show has increased each and every year. This year has the potential for a larger crowd as Seattle has cancelled the Lake Union fireworks show. Last year the traffic leaving the site was managed with the available Tukwila Police on site and available patrol units. To mitigate these issues I believe the following measures should be done: Headquarters Station: 444 Andover Park East • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 -575 -4404 • Fax: 206 -575 -4439 17 City of Tukwila Page 2 • Stage two fire apparatus at the site: one apparatus on each side of the river in order to cover the 6720 Fort Dent Office building. Apparatus shall be out of service during the display and for 30 minutes following the display. • Have Tukwila Police provide crowd control during the public display. A minimum of 4 officers will be required. Provide traffic control to the Fort Dent Way and Interurban Ave intersection to expedite traffic flow. (2 additional Tukwila Police shall be available to respond to the site if requested.) • Comply with Fire Works Permit Conditions attached Headquarters Station: 444 Andover Park East • Tukwila, Washington 98188 • Phone: 206 -575 -4404 • Fax: 206 -575 -4439 18 FINANCE AND SAFETY COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes June 4, 2013 — 5:30 p.m.; Conference Room #3 City of Tukwila Finance and Safety Committee PRESENT Councilmembers: Dennis Robertson, Chair; Verna Seal and De'Sean Quinn Staff: Don Tomaso, Vicky Carlsen, Mary Miotke, Kimberly Matej and Laurel Humphrey CALL TO ORDER: Committee Chair Robertson called the meeting to order at 5:33 p.m. I.

Additional review is needed and the item will return to Committee at a future date. B. Fireworks Permit for July 4 Event at Starfire Sports Complex Staff is seeking Council approval of a Fireworks Permit Application submitted by Western Display Fireworks Ltd. for the fireworks display at the City's annual 4`F' of July Celebration at Starfire Sports Complex. This vendor and the new launch site worked very well in 2012 with no reported problems. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 17 REGULAR COUNCIL CONSENT AGENDA. C. Council Policy on Electronic Devices Committee members reviewed the draft Administrative Policy on the Business Use Cellular Program and discussed its applicability to the development of a Council Policy on Electronic Devices. It was determined that some content from the Administrative Policy will be useful (such as the information on public records responsibilities and security /safety), but the Council Policy should be written to cover multiple types of devices (i.e. phones, laptops, tablets), and consider that the definition of "business use" is different for an elected official than for a staff member. Committee members also discussed the logistics of keeping campaign business separate from city business on an electronic device. Staff indicated that employee agreement forms are being developed to accompany the Administrative Policy. Councilmember Robertson will work with the Council Analyst on developing a draft policy based on the discussion and it will be brought to the Committee at a future date. DISCUSSION ONLY. III. MISCELLANEOUS Councilmember Robertson reminded Committee members to keep the Council Analyst apprised of any summer vacation plans they may have.
