San Bruno City Council Meeting May 5, 2011
10b. 2011 Fireworks Season
A
B
Honorable
mayor
of
members
of
the
City
Council
this
evening,
where
the
police,
chief
and
I
are
here
to
update
the
City
Council
on
the
planning
activities
of
the
police
and
fire
departments
for
the
2011
fireworks
season
and
seek
Council's
approval
of
the
proposed
educational
and
enforcement
program.
The
City
Council
has
directed
staff
to
raise
community
awareness
of
the
risk
involved
with
fireworks
use
and
to
strictly
enforce
violations
of
illegal
fireworks.
The
demand
placed
on
fire
and
police
resources
typically
increased,
not
only
during
the
holiday,
but
also
in
the
preceding
weeks.
B
The
fire
department
will
take
the
lead
in
educational
outreach
efforts,
including
public
education
messages
in
the
summer
edition
of
focus
and
cable
TV.
A
joint
effort
with
the
fireworks
industry
will
provide
information
to
all
the
elementary
middle
and
high
schools
in
san
bruno.
There
will
be
mandatory
meetings
and
june
with
the
fireworks
industry
and
community
organizations
that
are
requesting
to
sell
safe
and
sane
fireworks.
This
meeting
is
conducted
to
review
the
regulations,
safety
requirements
and
timelines
related
to
the
sale
of
fireworks.
All
these
organizations
have
paid
their
respective
fees
by
the
deadline
in
November.
B
The
estimated
cost
of
adding
an
additional
engine
company
and
possible
addition
and
staffing
prior
to
the
holiday
is
about
eighteen
thousand
dollars
the
additional
resources
which
will
depend
on
whether
fuel
and
activity
conditions
prior
to
the
holiday.
We
will
also
consider
adding
staff
and
station
them
at
high
risk
areas
if
warranted
at
this
point,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
chief
Telford
to
describe
the
police
activity.
C
We're
going
to
partner
with
the
fire
department
on
the
education
campaign
and
get
the
message
out
for
residents
and
those
coming
into
our
community
that
illegal
firework
use
will
not
be
tolerated
and
they'll
be
a
strict
enforcement
on.
It
will
also
be
visiting
those
neighborhoods
where
we've
had
chronic
activity
in
the
past
and
in
that
in
education
campaign.
We're
going
to
encourage
residents
to
call
us
to
report,
violations
of
illegal
fireworks
and
violations
of
the
safe
and
sane
use.
C
Our
estimated
cost
for
our
enforcement
campaign
is
just
under
a
thirty-two
thousand
at
thirty
one
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
and
the
total
cost
for
the
education
enforcement
campaign,
including
Public
Works,
clean
up
on
the
day
after
the
fourth
of
July,
is
fifty-three
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars.
These
cost
estimates
for
the
education
enforcement
campaign
are
reimbursed
by
assessments
charged
to
the
organization's
permitted
for
the
safe
and
sane
sale
of
fireworks,
and
that
concludes
our,
and
I
did
forget
one
thing
we
are
in
in
light
of
the
glenview
neighborhood.
C
We
will
be
conducting
additional
patrols
in
that
area
and
you
might
say
that
by
the
end
of
the
night
we
it
will
look
like
we've
had
somebody
stationed
up
there
and
again,
depending
on
the
activity
that
we
see
up
there,
we
will
report
any
additional,
a
need
for
fire
to
respond
to
that
area
as
well.
So
now
I
think
I've
concluded
my
report
on
the
education
enforcement
campaign
and
we'll
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
I
know.
D
Will
and
one
way
or
another,
the
lots
will
be
in
a
in
a
state
that
is
consistent
with
the
fire
safety
priorities
that
we
have
throughout
the
community.
So
the
answer
is
yes,
and
as
the
chief
indicated,
there
is
a
heightened
level
of
sensitivity
not
only
to
the
potential
for
fire,
but
also
to
just
the
situation
of
loud
noises
and
so
there's
a
heightened
awareness,
a
heightened
sensitivity
and
the
departments
will
be
responding
accordingly.
Ok.
