TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MARTIN QUIROZ, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES COORDINATOR
VIA: TROY BUTZLAFF, ICMA-CM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 4, 2016
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 2016-C27 SETTING THE NUMBER OF
TRANSITIONAL FIREWORKS SALES PERMITS AVAILABLE FOR 2016
SUMMARY:
The City Council previously approved Ordinance No. 06-01 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 Resolution No. 2016-C27 setting the number of transitional
fireworks sales permits for 2016.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
1) Approve Resolution No. 2016-C27 setting the number of transitional fireworks sales
permits available for 2016.
BACKGROUND:
On May 21, 2012, the City Council approved Urgency Ordinance No. 12-02 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 permits are
no longer being used. 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.).

Page 2
The City Council must adopt a resolution setting the number of transitional fireworks sales
permits available for 2016. Staff recommends that the City Council set the maximum number of
transitional fireworks sales permits at five (5).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The permit fees include an application fee of $356, a donation contribution of $250, fire
inspection fee of $53, electrical inspection permit of $152.92, and a $500 security deposit.
Should the City Council make available five (5) transitional fireworks sales permits and all five
(5) are awarded, an additional $1,250 (5 x $250) in funding for the City’s Special Assistance
Program will be raised. The remaining fees simply cover actual costs.
