C. Fireworks Update` (Lee)
APD Commander Stocker de-briefed the Committee on the APD 2011 Fireworks
Management Plan. There were many successes but there still was a 55%
increase in 911 calls. There were 8 arrests (same as 2010). There were 10,887
pieces of illegal fireworks confiscated (2010 12,000 and in 2009, 66,000 pieces).
This is a remarkable decrease in the past three years.
The APD was out in force, as well as, the Valley Regional Fire Authority. The
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe (MIT) adhered to their Tribal Ordinance discharge area
days and times except for a few times where things got out of compliance with
their own ordinance. The City did address those instances with MIT as the noise
from the discharge area was horr�c for nearby residents. MIT took corrective
action and worked with the City to rectify the problem.
The APD did identify 4 hotspots in the City for concentration in 2012: Forest Villa
area; 22"d and "I" Street NE, "N" Street NE, and Lea Hill.
The Municipal Services Committee (MSC) is reviewing the APD Report and will
be scheduling a working meeting to recommend "next steps" for the 2012
fireworks policy within the City.
