CONSENT ITEM
E-4
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MARTIN QUIROZ, PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER
DATE: JUNE 3, 2019
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION SETTING THE NUMBER OF
TRANSITIONAL FIREWORKS SALES PERMITS AVAILABLE FOR 2019
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 2019.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following action:
1) Approve Resolution No. 2019-C19 setting the number of transitional fireworks sales
permits available for 2019.
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 2019, the City Council must adopt a resolution setting the number of transitional fireworks
sales permits available for 2019. Staff recommends the City Council set the maximum number
of transitional fireworks sales permits at four (4). A listing of Legacy and Transitional
organizations that have applied for a 2019 fireworks sale permit is attached for your review.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The permit fees include application fee of $380.00, State of California Fee (CASp Fee) $4.00,
Fire Inspection Fee $58.00, Building Permit Fee/Electrical $128.05, Scholarship Donation fee of
$250, and $500 security deposit. Should the City Council make available four (4) transitional
fireworks sales permits and all four (4) are awarded, $1,000 (4 x $250) in scholarship fees will
be raised. The remaining fees simply cover actual costs.
