Resolution No. 2322 01.8 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Auburn, Washington, encouraging citizens of Auburn to limit discharge of fireworks to July 4, 1992 only, and to take all precautions to avoid igniting fires and causing personal injuries. Motion by Council member Brothers to introduce and adopt Resolution No. 2322, second by Councilmember Barber. Under discussion, Councilmember Kurle questioned the authority the City has in limiting fireworks. Mayor Roegner discussed the issues many cities have been facing with regard to fireworks and water limitations. He further discussed the potential impacts of overtime of emergency personnel, and if other cities limit fireworks for one day citizens from other jurisdictions will come to Auburn to light their firecrackers. Given Auburn's proximity and availability of fireworks a more significant amount of disruption has existed over the years. In emergency situations, Mayor Roegner can exercise operational authority under the City's emergency guidelines. At this time, however, further assessment and consideration by a Council Committee for an ordinance change in limiting fireworks would be appropriate. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 6-0.
