There is a $100 fee for a fireworks permit application. Last year, and the year prior, the City Council approved the Parks and Recreation Committee’s recommendation to waive the fee as a show of appreciation for Roberts’ efforts. Past City Attorney Pratt noted that the non-profit status of the organizer can be considered as a basis for waiving the fee.

Options: 1) Approve waiving the fee. 2) Do not approve waiving the fee. 3) Approve reducing the fee. Recommendation: Option 1
