Manager
3 Background:
Existing
Fireworks
Education and
Enforcement
• Increased HPD and Fire staffing during
and around July 4th
• Targeted operations to seize fireworks
• Community outreach and education:
• Social Media
• Public services announcements
• Electronic street signs
• Concentrated outreach efforts in
impacted neighborhoods
4 Background:
Primary
Enforcement
Challenges
• Crowds create unsafe conditions for
Police Officers to issue citations
• Officers must witness a person actually
lighting a firework to issue an
individual/criminal citation
• Regionally, the supply and access to
illegal fireworks is high, which is
impacting cities throughout the Bay
Area
5 Background:
Council
Feedback at
July Work
Session
• Wanted more clarity on what happens with
community complaints and calls
• Did not want to use criminal citations as the
primary enforcement tool
• Instead, Council would rather see
noncriminal citations like nuisance citations
• A majority of Council members did not
support hosting a sanctioned area for safe
and sane fireworks or hosting a City-
sponsored fireworks display
6 Approach to
Recommended
Changes
• Focus on key property owners in high-
incidence areas
• Use existing enforcement processes to
streamline without creating overlap
• Start with education and ramp up
enforcement as we near July
• Allow for multiple ways for community
members to provide feedback
• Create an inter-departmental task force that
leads enforcement and monitors progress
7 Proposed
Enhanced
Enforcement:
Citations for
Property Violations
1. An appointed officer of the City witnesses
a fireworks violation on a private property
2. The appointed officer fills out a case
report and sends it to the Code
Enforcement Division
3. Code Enforcement issues a citation notice
to the property owner
4. The fee is $1,200 for the first citation,
$3,000 for the second citation, and $5,000
for the third
5. The property owner can contest the
citation through a hearing
8 Community
Complaints/
Referrals
Can file a report through an online form with
Code Enforcement
➢Cannot be anonymous and they may need to testify
if the property owner contests the citation.
Can file an anonymous complaint through
Access Hayward
➢These complaints are sent to HPD’s Crime
Prevention Specialists, who will follow up with
warning letters to the properties

operations in areas with historically high
amounts of fireworks.
