Fire Division Chief Gordon Fowlston gave a brief summary for the recent fireworks vendors. Gordon
Report said inspections were started June 18`s. Some of the violations were taken care of anti
they had to go back more than once for violation issues. One of the vendors didn't halve
their signs up and had some waste materials to be removed. Gordon said he did tell the
vendors at the March meeting things that were found as issues he would be coming back
to the board before next year to request some changes in the ordinances and also let the
vendors know of these changes.
An after action meeting is set for July 8a'. There are quite a few concerns that can be
improved, lot lines, access for fire tracks and some places to require standby personnel.
Thing are being looked at that don't `set' with the city codes. Spot inspections occurred
and 3 warning letters were issued. Some complaints were made about fireworks being
launched to close to the tents. The ATF came to check certain tents.
Mayor Rose asked if the July 8`s meeting was mandatory and Gordon said it is not in the
codes as being mandatory, but does think this should be considered when making
changes in the codes. There is no requirement as to how many tents or buildings that
one vendor can own or operate. There were 9 tents and 3 building operating this year.
Alderman Salyer asked about the enforcement of the hours for shooting fireworks.
Gordon said the officers do drive around checking on the times of shooting and he can
help in enforcing the times.
Gordon will talk with the city's prosecuting attorney and see what can be done
and cannot be done with the ordinances we now have in place.
