8-14-1: DECLARATION OF POLICY:
It is the City's responsibility to promote the health, peace, safety, welfare and convenience of all persons. The City Council accordingly finds it necessary to codify the regulatory scheme of the State fireworks law with respect to "dangerous" fireworks, the possession, sale, and use of which is illegal. The City Council further finds it desirable to sanction the possession, sale, and use of non-dangerous, or "safe and sane" fireworks, subject to reasonable regulations such that this classification of fireworks can be safely possessed, purchased, and used by the members of the community to celebrate during the Fourth of July holiday season.
