Staff Contact: Terry Garrison, Fire Chief Staff Presenter: Chuck Jenkins, Fire Marshal Ms. Bower read Ordinance No. 017-18. Mr. Jenkins said the proposed ordinance adopted changes to the consumer firework code due to changes in state law. The updates included allowing the use of consumer fireworks during the state approved timeframes, which were June 24th through July 6th and December 24th through January 3rd of each year and clarifying that the use of fireworks on public or municipal property was prohibited at all times. A handout was provided to Council which showed additional changes that needed to be made to the ordinance which addressed posting of signage at the retail sales locations. Councilmember Malnar made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Aldama, to adopt and approve Ordinance No. 017-18, as amended. Councilmember Clark asked when were fireworks prohibited and when were fireworks allowed. Mr. Jenkins said consumer fireworks were prohibited in the City of Glendale at all times with the exception of June 24th through July 6th and December 24th through January 3rd. Councilmember Clark said it was easy for people to remember fireworks were allowed around July 4th and around New Year's. She asked if the City was currently out of compliance with State regulations. City of Glendale Page 5 Printed on 5/2412017 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 9, 2017 Mr. Jenkins said it was. Councilmember Clark asked if the purpose of the proposed ordinance was to bring the City back into compliance with State regulations. Mr. Jenkins said that was correct. Councilmember Malnar clarified there were prohibited fireworks and asked Mr. Jenkins to address that. Mr. Jenkins said the language detailed the specific classification of fireworks that were allowed during the timeframes. He said the term consumer fireworks was specific to certain fireworks and only those fireworks under the consumer fireworks category were allowed. Information regarding fireworks that were allowed could be found on the State's website, as well as the City's website. Councilmember Malnar clarified that any fireworks that go up into the air were illegal according to the ordinance. Mr. Jenkins said that was correct and said bottle rockets, firecrackers and M 80's were not in the category of permissible consumer fireworks. Mayor Weiers asked the Clerk to read the additional wording that addressed posting of signage at the retail sales locations Ms. Bower read additional wording to Ordinance No. 017-18. Mayor Weiers asked Councilmember Malnar to rescind his motion and make the motion again to include the changes to make sure it was done correctly. Councilmember Malnar rescinded his motion. Councilmember Malnar made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Tolmachoff, to approve and adopt Ordinance No. 17-18, as presented and as amended. Councilmember Turner made reference to the definition of permissible consumer fireworks, and said he wanted to make it clear that neither the City nor the State legalized fireworks such as bottle rockets, roman candles and M80s. Mr. Jenkins said that was correct. Councilmember Turner had received complaints from his constituents about fireworks and the effect on their pets. He said the complaints were normally regarding explosive type of fireworks, which were not legal fireworks. He wanted to let constituents know they needed to call the Police Department if those types of fireworks were used at any time during the year. He wanted to make sure the public knew they were not legalizing firecrackers and bottle rockets. Councilmember Turner asked if the fireworks that were not legal for the consumer to use could be sold legally. Mr. Jenkins said both State law and the City Ordinance clearly stated the sale or possession of those fireworks was a violation of law. City of Glendale Page 6 Printed on 5/2412017 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final May 9, 2017 Councilmember Turner said if citizens should not be seeing those types of fireworks for sale and if they were hearing them in their neighborhoods, they might be brought into the state illegally. Additionally, they should report use of those fireworks to the Police Department. Councilmember Aldama asked about a section of the ordinance that spoke about a live animal and asked if that was an error. Councilmember Aldama said he was referring to Section 21. Mr. Jenkins explained they were referring to Section 26 and he did not have Section 21. Councilmember Aldama said the language was in Ordinance No. 017-18. Mr. Jenkins did not have an answer and said the changes being made were a part of Chapter 26. Councilmember Malnar said he saw that language as well, but it was a continuation of the ordinances of the City, but they were not making any changes to that language. Councilmember Aldama asked for the Attorney to review the language to make sure it was correct. Mayor Weiers asked if there were any other comments. James Deibler, a Phoenix resident, said many people were using fireworks on their property to celebrate July 4th. He was concerned about children getting injured by fireworks. He said the City needed to make fireworks illegal and make the companies pay for it. A motion was made by Councilmember Malnar, seconded by Councilmember Tolmachoff, to approve and adopt Ordinance No. 17-18, as presented and as amended. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 7 - Mayor Weiers, Vice Mayor Hugh, Councilmember Aldama, Councilmember Clark, Councilmember Tolmachoff, Councilmember Malnar, and Councilmember Turner 25. 17-167 ORDINANCE NO. 017-19 AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF AN EASEMENT FOR TWO WATER LINES LOCATED AT 7815 WEST ASPERA BOULEVARD AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO RECORD A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE. Staff Contact: Michelle Woytenko, Deputy Director, Public Works Ms. Bower read Ordinance No. 017-19. Ms. Woytenko said the request was to accept a new waterline easement at 7815 West Aspera Boulevard. Two new waterlines were being constructed to meet fire protection requirements. The easement would allow the City to operate, maintain and repair the waterlines. Staff recommended acceptance of the easement. There would be no impact to City departments, staff or service levels as a result of the action. There might be minimal costs incurred to the City for operating these two waterlines.
