Submitted B Reviewed By Director of Parkzand Assistant City Manager Community Services DESCRIPTION: The new "splatter" event will be held on September 22, 2012 at Emerald Glen Park. In recognition of the 30th anniversary of incorporation of the City, an aerial fireworks display will take place at the conclusion of the event. The event will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will conclude with a live musical performance by the "Double Funk Crunch" band at 6:30 p.m. followed by an aerial fireworks display at 8:00 p.m. The Fireworks Display firing area will be located on the soccer /cricket field at Emerald Glen Park and will require a "Fall Out Zone" of 350 ft. in all directions. As a result, the City Council is being Page 1 of 3 ITEM NO. 4.9 asked to adopt a resolution to temporarily close a portion of Central Parkway and Killian Street on Saturday evening from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Additionally, the south parking lot and a section of Central Parkway are within the "Fall Out Zone." Based on the experience during the 2007 fireworks show with prevailing winds significantly impacting fallout debris falling into the south parking lot, Staff recommends closure of the south lot. Vehicle Code section 21101, subdivision (e), provides that local authorities may, by ordinance or resolution, temporarily close a portion of any street under their jurisdiction for "celebrations, parades, local special events, and other purposes" as long as the authorities determine the closing is "necessary for the safety and protection of persons who are to use that portion of the street during the temporary closing." Attachment 1 is a resolution authorizing the temporary street closure for the "splatter' event. Following the adoption of the Resolution, Staff will prepare a direct mailing to all residents and businesses affected by the road closure. FIREWORKS DISPLAY The Fireworks Display for the "splatter' event will be set up on Saturday morning, September 22 in the center portion of the cricket/soccer field at the southwest end of Emerald Glen Park (Attachment 2). At the time of installation, a 150 ft. temporary barrier will be placed around the perimeter of the installation area and remain in place for the entire day. For additional safety and security, temporary construction fencing will be installed around the "Fallout Zone" perimeter that is within Emerald Glen Park prior to the event, and will remain in place until after the event. From 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., a temporary barrier will be placed along the remaining Fallout Zone perimeter beyond the boundary of Emerald Glen Park. Staff will be strategically positioned around the perimeter to prevent participants from entering the restricted area. Additionally, the vehicle parking lot adjacent to Central Parkway will be closed as it falls within the Fallout Zone. At the conclusion of the display, the area will be swept by staff for debris and a street sweeper will be brought in to clean the adjacent parking areas and streets. ROAD CLOSURES /PARKING PLAN Staff from the Parks and Community Services Department has met with representatives from Police, Fire, Public Works, and with members of the City's Traffic Committee to review the road closure and traffic plans necessary to accommodate the Fireworks Display as discussed below.
