A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
URGING LEGISLATION BANNING THE SALE OF FIREWORKS
It
WHEREAS, the celebration of Independence Day on July 4 of each year tradi-
tionally includes the use of safe and sane fireworks, and
WHEREAS, the use of such fireworks has been the cause of numerous fires,
destroying valuable homes and personal property in Cypress and throughout all
of Orange County, and
WHEREAS, the outright banning of fireworks by individual cities in Orange
County does not appear to significantly reduce their use nor the fireworks -related
fires in the cities prohibiting them; and
WHEREAS, in order for a ban on fireworks to be effective, it must be
county -wide or state-wide, and
WHEREAS if a general ban on the sale of fireworks is not feasible, a more
restrictive control of safe and sane" fireworks to determine which fireworks
can be modified in such a manner as to be unsafe should be imposed
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cypress
requests that legislation be introduced banning the sale of fireworks county -wide
or state-wide
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk transmit copies of this Resolution
to our local State Legislators, to all Orange County cities currently allowing
the sale of fireworks and to the League of California Cities
