in effect8.48.020 Certain public displays - exception.
Public displays of fireworks may be conducted with permission of the fire chief if the displays will take place under the supervision and direction of a person who is duly licensed by the state of California to conduct a fireworks display. The applicant shall apply for such permission at least 10 days in advance of the date of the display for which the permit is sought. The application must be in the form prescribed by the fire chief and must include the name and address of the applicant, the date and nature of the event, and any other information as the fire chief may reasonably require.
The fire chief shall grant the permit as applied for or with conditions, unless the chief finds that to do so would be contrary to the public health, safety, and welfare. The decision of the fire chief shall be in writing and mailed, postage prepaid, to the applicant.
Every application for permission to conduct a public fireworks display must be accompanied by a nonrefundable fee as established by resolution of the city council. This fee shall be in addition to any fee or tax imposed by Chapter 3.08 of this code.
Every applicant shall agree to hold the city, its officers, and employees harmless from any claims for damages or other costs arising from the activity authorized by the permit. (Ord. 2025-0014 § 3; Prior code § 15.03.376)
