FireWorks/Trucking/Safety Zones On Next Agenda

http://www.cityofgrandterrace.org/Archive.aspx?AMID=&Type=&ADID=484

This is the link for the Next City Council and Redevelopment Agency Meeting.

Of Notice.
1) The explanation for the closed door meeting regarding the Change Orders and Furniture Issue seems to this reader being in the interest of hiding possible illegal activity rather than the need for a Negotiation behind closed doors. The public and law enforcement should be informed of the contractual adjustments and the way they were done.

2) Staff recommends approval of Trucking Rehab Company Swartsenfinger to have approval of their CUP application.

3) Fireworks Ordinance and Agreement is to be approved. Read it and see if you can get your neighbor to sign such an agreement prior to their use of fireworks that will endanger your business or home.

4) Fireworks Ban Safety Zones. There is going to be some problem in enforcement.For Example the map reads "North of Brentwood". Does that include all the houses on Brentwood, or just the homes on the north side up to the school. Will the city of Colton be protecting the cliff to the west of the Grand Terrace "Safety Zone" or will they keep the fire from crossing the street?

5) Why is there no regulation of a Red Flag Warning or Red Flag Day as being a condition to call off the use of all fireworks? At best the map gives responders a few moments more to get to a fire, but if there is wind, they won't be able to stop the fire's spread.

The down load of the packet is fairly quick. I have not checked the check register item by item.
