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.
