City of Ramsey June 23, 1982 I i i I I I I I Jimmy B ' s Club American 6937 Highway #10 NW Ramsey, MN 55303 Attent: Diane Dear Diane; After doing some checking around the area, including Coon P~pids Fire Department and the Blaine Fire Department, I have determined some of the requirements that other' areas have set forth and will list them below: First, and what seems to be foremost, the persons or organizations putting on the display must be bonded before any permit is considered. I checked with one local agency and was told that their underwriter would require, before any bond was issued, the following; immediate clean-up after the display, a safe area for discharge, experienced persons doing the firing, knowledge of number of spectators, a roped off area and other things, - Second, fire fighters on the scene with portable water tanks. At least three or four persons, - Third, mn area of at least 75 to 100 yards of cleared area between any persons and discharging area, - Fourth, knowledgeable and experienced persons handling and discharging all fireworks. I i Also, I was told that most wholesalers will require a permit from a city of other government agency before the fireworks are sold. As to the permit fee, if you are still going to apply, I will have to let the city administrator or his staff determine that cost, but I imagine it would be around $25.00 or less. I ! I I I would hope by next year that we will have in our ordinances a permit structure well defined and workable, since fireworks displays are a pa~t of our society on the 4th of July and I think the city should allow properly planned demonstrations. If I can be of further assistance, please call or write. S~e rely,/ ^ Chief, Ramsey Police cc: Lloyd Schnelle, ABm.
