CONSENT ITEM
E-5
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MARTIN QUIROZ, PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER
DATE: JUNE 4, 2018
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION SETTNG THE NUMBER OF
TRANSITIONAL FIREWORKS SALES PERMITS AVAILABLE FOR 2018
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has previously approved an ordinance related to the issuance of fireworks sales
permits. Under this ordinance, a number of legacy fireworks sales permits were issued. In
addition, the City Council can set a number of transitional fireworks sales permits to be issued
each year. This action adopts a resolution setting the number of transitional fireworks sales
permits for 2018.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following action:
1) Approve Resolution No. 2018-C42 setting the number of transitional fireworks sales
permits available for 2018.
ANALYSIS:
On May 21, 2012, the City Council approved an urgency ordinance amending Chapter 30,
Article IV, Section 30-132 and adding Section 30-133.5 relating to the issuance of fireworks
sales permits. This ordinance created “transitional” fireworks sales permits. These are permits
that are no longer being used. As you may recall, there were an original 23 fireworks sales
permits issued. As organizations no longer renewed the sales permits, the permits were not
reissued to other organizations. With the creation of transitional fireworks sales permits, the City
Council has the option to issue these permits to new organizations that meet certain
requirements: nonprofit associations or corporations or to other groups that provide services to
military personnel and/or their families that are based in the City of Azusa (i.e. have their
principal and permanent meeting place in the city limits.).
For 2018, the City Council must adopt a resolution setting the number of transitional fireworks
sales permits available for 2018. Staff recommends the City Council set the maximum number
of transitional fireworks sales permits at six (6).
APPROVED

FISCAL IMPACT:
The permit fees include application fee of $356.00, State of California Fee (CASp Fee) $4.00,
Fire Inspection Fee $56.00 Building Permit Fee/Electrical $127.31, Scholarship Donation fee of
$250, and $500 security deposit. Should the City Council make available six (6) transitional
fireworks sales permits and all six (6) are awarded, $1,500 (6 x $250) in scholarship fees will be
raised. The remaining fees simply cover actual costs.
