TITLE 6 OF THE COLTON MUNICIPAL CODE FOR THE PURPOSE

OF ADDING ADMINISTRATIVE FINES FOR VIOLATING
CHAPTER 6.32

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:

MUNICIPAL CODE FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADDING ADMINISTRATIVE FINES FOR VIOLATING CHAPTER 6.32

The proposed Ordinance is attached as Attachment 1.

BACKGROUND

Chapter 6.32 of the City of Colton Municipal Code (“Code”) generally regulates the sale and use of “Safe and Sane” fireworks. Additionally, Section 6.32.010, subsection B, states that: “All fireworks that are not "Safe and Sane" Fireworks, as defined by Health and Safety Cod e Section 12529, are prohibited to be sold, used, discharged or possessed in any location within the City and at all times.” Section 6.32.170 makes any violation of Chapter 6.32 punishable as a misdemeanor, including a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS

1 Packet Pg. 6
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Agenda Item DOC-2018-1

Page 2 ends

In response to an increasing number of illegal fireworks and fireworks related incidents over the past few years, City Council has urged the Fire Department to seek further alternatives to gain compliance with regards to illegal fireworks.

This amendment will add administrative fines as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy available at law, for those persons selling, using, discharging or possessing all fireworks that are not “Safe and Sane” fireworks, as stated in Section 6.32.010, subsection B. Any person violating this section is subject to a fine of $1,500 for the first violation and $3,000 for a second violation within 24 months of the first violation.

For local comparison purposes, the fine for the unlawful possess ion or use of non “Safe and Sane” fireworks in the County of San Bernardino is $1,250.00 for the first violation and $2,250.00 for a second violation. In the City of Fontana, the fine for a first violation is $2,500.00, while the fine for a second violation is $5,000.00.

FISCAL IMPACTS

The anticipated impacts to revenue and budget will be estimated accordingly for the FY 18/19 budget.
