B
Erin
council
this
year,
I
received
17
applications,
one
as
a
brand
new
one
and
sixteen
or
returning
all
of
the
applications
were
reviewed
by
the
fire
department,
the
police
department
in
the
subcommittee,
and
then
they
also
attended
those
17
applicants
attended
a
mandatory
safety
meeting
that
we
held
last
Tuesday
evening
in
response
to
citizen
citizen
concerns
over
the
dangers
of
fireworks.
As
a
city,
we
passed
in
2005
an
initiative
that
safe
and
sane
can
be
done
in
Sam
Burnham.
B
C
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
members
of
the
City
Council.
As
you
know,
the
city
takes
a
zero-tolerance
approach
to
the
enforcement
both
of
illegal
fireworks
regulations
that
are
implemented
at
the
state
level
and
those
local
regulations
related
to
the
use
and
sale
of
safe
and
sane
fireworks
that
have
been
implemented
by
local
ordinance.
C
As
the
city
clerk
indicated
established
by
vote
of
the
voters
of
the
city
of
San
Bruno
for
the
coming
year
in
understanding
and
sensitivity
to
the
concerns
that
are
being
expressed
by
members
of
the
glenview
area
and
their
heightened
level
sensitivity
both
to
the
threat
of
fire
as
well
as
loud
noises.
Generally
we're
going
to
do
some
additional
enforcement
patrol
and
monitoring
and
support
to
the
neighborhood
san
bruno,
Police
Department
will
deploy
additional
officers
on
july
4th
in
the
days
leading
up
to
the
holiday.
As
we
always
do.
C
We
will
be
assigning
additional
officers
directly
to
the
glenview
area
in
past
years.
Around
the
fourth
of
July
holiday.
We
have
typically
assigned
four
to
six
officers
who
patrol
in
teams
the
division
of
the
city
or
the
area
of
the
city,
that's
generally
described
as
covering
the
area
from
I
280
to
the
city
limits.
C
In
addition,
this
coming
holiday
season,
the
police
department,
will
assign
a
2
officer
team
devoted
solely
to
the
glenview
neighborhood.
These
officers,
as
I
indicated
before,
will
be
in
supplement
to
the
normal,
heightened
level
of
patrol.
We
provide
officers,
as
I
indicated,
take
a
zero-tolerance
approach
to
the
use
of
illegal
fireworks
for
the
improper
use
of
safe
and
sane
fireworks,
a
violation
of
either
of
these
ordinances
or
either.
These
requirements
carries
a
fine
of
up
to
one
thousand
dollars
in
previous
years.
Fines
have
been
imposed
and
they
will
be
again
this
year
vigorously.
C
C
So
we're
trying
to
time
the
effort
to
make
sure
that
the
area
is
cleared
to
make
to
make
this
advantage
of
that
work
effort
and
to
protect
the
neighborhood
as
best
possible
as
such,
the
city
is
coordinating
with
the
private
property
owners
in
the
neighborhood
to
facilitate
the
removal
of
the
weeds
prior
to
the
start
of
the
sale
of
safe
and
sane
fireworks,
which
begins
on
jun
28.
So
that
means
within
the
next
two
weeks
we
will
be
in
the
neighborhood
assuring
that
those
weeds
are
removed.
C
We
are
currently
in
the
process
of
gaining
permission
from
property
owners
on
whose
property
this
work
needs
to
occur
and
we're
about
halfway
through
the
return
of
those
right
of
entry
agreements
that
we
previously
sent
out
so
we'll
be
contacting
property
owners
from
whom
we
have
not
heard
and
as
a
necessary
last
ditch
effort.
It's
my
understanding
that
our
fire
chief
and
Fire
Marshall
can
order
removal
of
the
weeds,
and
we
would
proceed
on
that
basis.
