Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler replied yes. He noted that staff could add language <br />that sprinkled buildings can store fireworks up to 200 pounds and un-sprinkled buildings could <br />store fireworks up to 50 pounds. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if the sporting good stores along Highway #10 are <br />sprinkled. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler replied that both sporting good stores are sprinkled. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired as to what the City's regulations are for gunpowder and <br />ammunition. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire ChiefKapler replied that addresses those issues. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he was talking about ammunition and raw gunpowder. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler replied that he would have to research that <br />information. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated if the City is going to let a business have 100 pounds of gun <br />powder, then 200 pounds of sparklers might not be that bad. He did not think that the City <br />needed to be overly cautious simply because it is a new thing because there are probably a lot <br />more explosive things in the City. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler replied that the difference is that fireworks are <br />designed to explode. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen noted that so was gunpowder. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler replied that that was true but the container that holds <br />the gunpowder is not. The concern is if fireworks are unregulated they might have a homeowner <br />that is selling out of their garage and that could be a real problem. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen agreed that they don't want tents along Highway #10, but wants to <br />keep things in perspective. <br /> <br />Councilmember Anderson inquired if it was likely that there might be fireworks stands set up for <br />the 4th of July function at Diamonds Sports Bar. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that they would have to comply with the ordinance. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if Diamonds were to comply with the ordinance to sell <br />fireworks, does the ordinance state that they would have to sell the fireworks inside the building. <br /> <br />City Council/June 4, 2002 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
