BACKGROUND:
On December 10, 2010, a City Codes Review Ad Hoc Committee (Ad Hoc

address the challenges City staff was encountering in its attempts to enforce the
City's Municipal Code.

2. During the months of January and February 2011, staff conducted a review of the
entire Municipal Code to identify its deficiencies, and to provide the Ad Hoc
Committee with recommendations to better facilitate compliance.
3. On March 9, 2011, Community Preservation staff met with the Ad Hoc Committee
to discuss the difficulties faced in the enforcement of the Temple City Municipal
Code (TCMC). This includes inconsistent provisions, ambiguous verbiage and
outdated requirements that no longer reflect the goals of the City, as well as the
lack of necessary enforcement tools needed to mandate compliance from persons
who refuse to voluntarily comply with applicable requirements.
4. On September 6, 2011, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 11-946 amending
section 3100 of the Temple City Municipal Code and adopting the Consolidated
Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County Fire Code.
5. From April through October 2011, Community Preservation staff (including City
Prosecutor James Eckart) and the Ad Hoc Committee discussed various methods
of addressing the deficiencies, including possible amendments to the City's
Municipal Code.
6. On November 15, 2011, the City Council approved the first round of proposed
code amendments that would facilitate improved enforcement of the Municipal
Code and subsequent compliance of violations. The ordinances approved were:
Ordinance No. 11-948 — Shopping and Laundry Cart Containment, Retrieval and
Abatement; Ordinance No. 11-949 -Abandoned and Vacant Property Registration,
Maintenance and Security Requirements; and Ordinance No. 11-950 — Public
Nuisance Regulations.
7. On March 20, 2012, Community Development staff and City Prosecutor James
Eckart met with the Ad Hoc Committee to discuss methods for addressing the
regulations relating to the possession, sale, and discharge of fireworks in the City.
8. On April 17, 2012, the City Council reviewed and approved 12 fireworks stand
permits for the 2012 season. The 12 applicants were non-profit organization
groups.
9. On May 1, 2012, the Ad Hoc Committee met with staff and the City Prosecutor to
review the first draft of the proposed ordinance. The City Prosecutor provided
recommendations and the Ad Hoc Committee provided direction to amend the initial
draft based on aforementioned input.
10. On June 19, 2012, the Ad Hoc Committee met with staff and the City Prosecutor to
review revisions to the draft ordinance. The Ad Hoc Committee provided feedback,
recommendations, and directed staff to submit the proposed ordinance to the City
Council for consideration.

11. From July 2012 through February 2013, staff met several times with the City
Prosecutor to ensure that the recommended revisions to the proposed ordinance
were being incorporated based on the Ad Hoc Committee's direction.
12. On March 21 and March 28, 2013, public notices regarding the introduction and
first reading of the proposed ordinance were published in the Temple City Tribune.
ANALYSIS:
The City of Temple City recognizes the need to implement reasonable regulations for
the sale, use, discharge and display of fireworks in order to protect the safety of
spectators, property owners, residents, and visitors of the City. The City seeks to
encourage responsible use of legal fireworks and to discourage the possession, use,
sale or distribution, or discharge of illegal fireworks. It is imperative that the City modify
and enhance its Fire Code as it relates to fireworks to preserve the public peace, health,
safety, and general welfare of Temple City residents and the general public.
1. Current Fireworks Regulations
The TCMC contains general provisions to protect the health and safety of the
community. The current fireworks provisions require persons to obtain a permit for
the sale of "safe and sane" fireworks (i.e., those that do not explode or fly). The
permit is valid for fireworks sales beginning 12:00 p.m. on June 30th and ending
12:00 p.m. on July 5th of each year, but does not specify daily hours of sale. The
current provisions also allow for the liberal discharge of "safe and sane" fireworks
within the City on days other than the 4th of July holiday (i.e., from 12:00 p.m. on
June 30th to 12:00 p.m. on July 5th each year). Additionally, there are currently no
provisions in place for the public display of fireworks and/or special events. Violations
of provisions in the current code result in the seizure, removal, or disposal of
fireworks by the Los Angeles County Fire Chief at the expense of the owner. The
current code does not, however, provide for additional penalties to be assessed by
the City. Proposed Ordinance No. 13-968 (modifying and enhancing Chapter 1 of
Title 3 of the TCMC) contains provisions that increase the City's ability to support
the general welfare of the City's residents.
2. Proposed Changes to Fireworks Regulations
The most significant changes to the City's current Fire Code are described below.
A. Sale of "Safe and Sane" Fireworks
The current fireworks permits allow the sale of "safe and sane" fireworks from 12:00
p.m. on June 301h to 12:00 p.m. on July 5th of each year, with no daily hours of sale
specified, thereby encouraging sales to occur at all hours of the day during the
City Council
April 2, 2013
Page 4
specified sale period. The proposed ordinance allows ample opportunity for
responsible fireworks retailing, while discouraging the use of fireworks prior to or
after the 4th of July holiday by limiting the sale of "safe and sane' fireworks to July 1st
through July 3`d, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.; and July 4th
between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. The proposed ordinance also
explicitly prohibits the sale of "Dangerous Fireworks' (i.e., those that are not
designated as "safe and sane') at all times.
B. Use, Display or Discharge of "Safe and Sane" Fireworks
The current provisions allowing for the liberal discharge of "safe and sane" fireworks
on days other than the 4th of July holiday may subsequently affect the peace, health,
safety, and general welfare of the City residents and the general public when
discharge of "safe and sane' fireworks is permitted to occur during non -holiday
hours. The proposed ordinance limits the hours of use or discharge of "safe and
sane' fireworks to the July 4th holiday between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 10:00
p.m. Proposed Ordinance No. 13-968 also explicitly prohibits the use or discharge of
"Dangerous Fireworks" at all times, and prohibits the possession of Dangerous
Fireworks in the amount of 25 pounds or less at all times [Possession of Dangerous
Fireworks in excess of 25 pounds is covered by the State Health & Safety Code].
C. Permit for Public Displays of Fireworks and/or Special Effects
There are currently no provisions for the public display of fireworks and/or special
events. The proposed ordinance would require permits for the discharge of
"Dangerous Fireworks" for public display and/or any use of special effects. The
permits would be issued by the Los Angeles County Fire Chief. The addition of
"Dangerous Fireworks" permits allows the City (and Fire Department) to monitor and
regulate the discharge of "Dangerous Fireworks' to ensure it is done at an approved
location and in a manner that will not endanger the public or create hazards.
Additionally, permits for the discharge of "Dangerous Fireworks' ensure that
"Dangerous Fireworks" will be handled by a licensed pyrotechnic operator.
D. Violations
The current code does not contain adequate penalty provisions. Under the current
fireworks code, violation of conditions in the code results in the seizure, removal, or
disposal of fireworks by the Los Angeles County Fire Chief at the expense of the
owner. The proposed ordinance provides additional regulations to facilitate
compliance by authorizing the City to issue administrative fines.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 13-968 to benefit the
general health, safety, and welfare of the community. In Los Angeles County, 49 cities
and all unincorporated areas ban all fireworks, even those that are designated by the
State Fire Marshall to be "safe -and -sane' because they believe that "safe -and -sane'

fireworks can be dangerous. The neighboring cities of: Los Angeles, Arcadia, San
Marino, Sierra Madre, South Pasadena, and Pasadena ban fireworks all together;
conversely, 39 cities, including Temple City, permit "safe and sane" fireworks. While the
City is not proposing a complete fireworks ban, the City recognizes the need to protect
the public safety by implementing reasonable regulations for the sale, use, discharge,
and display of fireworks.

During the past year, the City has enacted several amendments (i.e., Property
Maintenance, Shopping Cart Containment, and Vacant Property Registration) to the
Temple City Municipal Code aimed at maintaining and enhancing the City's quality of
life. Staffs extensive review and analysis of the Fire Code has demonstrated that the
City's fireworks laws contain conflicting and ambiguous verbiage. The City's current
fireworks laws are outdated and have not been adapted to adequately respond to
growing concerns by City officials and the public relating to the possession, sale, and
discharge of fireworks.
In order to allow the City to provide ample notification to vendors and to conduct an
extensive outreach campaign for residents, all provisions of the proposed ordinance would
become effective beginning August 1, 2013 – however, the current fireworks regulations
contained within the municipal code would remain in effect until July 31, 2013.

Adoption of proposed Ordinance No. 13-968 will not cause fiscal impact upon the City's
budget. After August 1, 2013, when provisions of proposed Ordinance No. 13-968 become
effective, the City will generate revenue from the issuance of fireworks permits. However,
the increase in revenue would be used to offset the costs incurred from the processing
and enforcement of the proposed ordinance.
