2 2023 Safe and Sane Fireworks Sales – Annual Report
Summary
This report annually revie ws the legalized sales of safe and sane fireworks in the City of Fullerton. 2023 marked the City’s eleventh year of fireworks sales. The 2023 lottery process ran smoothly with no issues reported to the City Clerk’s Office.
City Council adopted Resolution No . 2022-018 on March 3, 2022 to amend the lottery drawing process to reserve five spots for Youth Sports Partner League organizations and the remaining ten spots for all other qualified lottery participants.
The City received five qualified applications from Youth Sport Partner League organizations and 22 qualified applications from other community organizations All 15 community groups selling fireworks in 2023 selected TNT Fireworks as their vendor.
Background and Discussion
Background. Fullerton voters approved Measure X on November 6, 2012 which adopted Ordinance No. 3183 establishing the sale and use of safe and sane fireworks in the Ci ty o f Fullerton. Ci ty Council adopted Resolution 20 22-018 in 2022 which updated the rules and regulations for sale, possession and discharge of safe and sane fireworks.
A committee comprised of staff from various departments met in 2013 to develop the fireworks lottery and fireworks permit application packets and facilitate fireworks sales based on the rules and regulations outlined by City Council.
City Council considered issuing a Request for Proposal for a single wholesaler or adding a dr op fee for each fireworks stand at the inception of the fireworks sales program. City Council did not pursue either option. Fireworks vendors operating in the City at that time (TNT Fireworks and Phantom Fireworks) had indicated their intent to prov ide donations to the City to support the First Night and Fourth of July events.
City Council placed Measure U – City of Fullerton Fireworks Ballot Measure on the November 3, 2020 ballot to prohibit the sale, possession and use of fireworks in the City of Fullerton. The measure failed with 59.83% voting against the measure.
Individual Council Members, community groups and the public have made several suggestions to update the fireworks sales program including, but not limited to, allowing multi-year permits, using a weighted lottery drawing, limiting the number of times a group may receive a permit before it must remove itself from the lottery for a cycle to allow other groups the opportunity to fundraise and refunding the lottery application fee to unsuccessful lottery applicants.
The 2019-20 City of Fullerton budget included updated fee s for firework s lottery applications and fireworks sales permits. City Council has not increased fees since that time.
City Counc il received and file d th e 2022 Saf e and San e Firework s Sale s Annual Report and approved the 2023 lottery and sales permit timeline on February 7, 2023.
Lottery Application. The City Cle rk’s Office received five qualified lottery applications for You th Sport Partner League organizations and 22 qualified lottery applications from other community organizations between March 1, 2023 and March 31, 2023. 3 Resolution No. 20 22-018 allows one application per educational institution. This includes any school clubs and booster programs that provide funding directly to school programs . Staff sends a letter to all educational institutions informing them of this rule in advance of the lottery application period.
The sales program continues to consider sororities and fraternities as indivi dual community groups as those organizations operate independently from the colleges.
Lottery Drawing. City Council hosted the lottery drawing during the April 18, 2023 City Council meeting. The Mayor, accompanied by s taff, drew five Youth S port Partner Group applicants and ten other community group applicants to continue to the p ermitting phase for fireworks sales. The Mayor also drew five community group alternate applications.
Permit Application / I nspections. The Knights of Co lumbus Fullerton Council #16452 de clined the opportunity to submit a pe rmit application and instead joined the Knights of Co lumbus Fullerton Council #4018 and worked under their permit This allowed the first alternate, Temple Beth Tikvah, to apply for a fireworks sales permit. All other groups drawn in the lottery completed the permit application process. The groups sold safe and sane fire works between July 1 and 4, 2023. (More information on the permit holders contained in the statistics section in this report.) Staff continues to find 15 stands an appropriate number of stands for fireworks sales in the City.
Outreach. The Fire Department continued its social media campaign this year and increased outreach efforts with signs throughout the City s tating “Only Safe and Sane Fireworks Permitted”. Community groups s elling fireworks distributed Zero Tolerance flyers provided by the Fire Department identifying high-fire hazard areas where all fireworks are prohibited.
Enforcement. The fireworks sales permit fee include s each permitee’s share of the cost for additional public safety personnel leading up to and on the Fourth of July which consists of the following:
• Six Police Officers (2 two-officer cars and 1 two-officer car teamed wit h the Fullerton Fire Department)
• One Dispatcher
• Directed Enforcement Team (1 Sergeant and 2 investigators) • Fire Suppression Team (4 Firefighters).
The Fullerton Police Department received 230 fireworks-related calls in addition to all the other calls for service between 12:00 am on July 1, 20 23 and 3:00 am on July 5, 20 23. Thi s is a 7% decrease from the 246 calls taken during the same time frame in the previous year.
The Department received 165 of those calls between 12:00 am on July 4, 20 23 and 3:00 am on July 5, 2023. This totals four more calls received than the same time frame in 2022.
These statics do not include firework related phone calls to the Police Department front desk or walk-in patrons that complain about general firework activity in the City.
The City has received an increase of firework related calls throughout the mo nth of June since Measure X passed which likely involve illegal fireworks since legal sales do not start until July 1 each year.
4 Additional Staffing. The Fullerton Police Department staffed two, two-officer units specifically assigned to handle fireworks related calls. A portion of the fireworks permit fees funded these four officers who worked on July 4, 2023 a t 7:00 pm until July 5, 2023 at 3:00 a m. T hese officers handled the majority of firework calls for service during their shift.
The Fire Department responded to seven incidents b etween July 1 and July 5, 2023 compared to nine incidents during the same timeframe in the previous year.
City’s 4th of July Event. The City did not hold a 4th of July event in 2023.
Cleanup. The Public Works / Street Division had no major issues to report following street sweeping on July 5, 2023 consistent with cleanups in previous years.
Permitees cleared any remaining fireworks stock from the stands on July 5, 202 3 and vendors removed stands by the July 13, 2023 deadline.
Financial Reporting. All fifteen groups submitted their financial reports to the City by the September 1, 2023 deadline. Orangethorpe United Methodist Church and Hope International University did not submit financial reports in 2019 and remain disqualified from future fireworks lotteries until they submit their reports. Groups reported net profits ranging from $8,731 to $31,628 per group. (More detail on the financial reports included later in this report.) The overall percentage of net profits in 2023 to taled 26% compared to 28% in the previous year.
Feedback. No feedback forms received in 2023.
Looking Forward. Overall, the process for sale of safe and sane fireworks is successful. Staff will update the 2024 lottery and permit applications with 202 4 information and refine the application and permitting process when warranted.
Most City employees received raises in 2023. Staff will recalculate the permit processing costs based on the current cost of providing services and present to City Council to consider adjusting permit fees to match the actual service costs.
July 4, 2023 fell on a Tuesday. Staff will continue to monitor statistics in future years to track any correlation between the day of the week the holiday falls on and the volume of sales or calls for service related to fireworks.

The fireworks sales application process has two phases : 1) application for fireworks stand lottery drawing and 2) application for fireworks stand sales permit.
Phase 1 – Lottery Application (Completed). Any group wishing to sell fireworks must first submit a completed application for the fireworks lottery draw ing. The City will issue permits for up to 15 fireworks sales stands . Those organizations award ed a fireworks sales stand through the lottery drawing must then complete the second phase of the application process to obtain a fireworks sales permit.
The City accepted fireworks lottery applications during each business day the City was open in March. The City held the lottery drawing on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
Phase 2 – Fireworks Stand Permit App lication. Those organizations selected in the lottery, must next submit a fully completed permit application, in person, to the Fire Department by June 2, 2023.
