PURPASE: To consider approving a pyrotechnics permit for Biue Cross/Blue Shield Family Day 2004
on Saturday, June 5, 2004,
BACKGROUND: Blue Cross/Blue Shield has requested that the County Commissioners approve a
pyrotechnics permit for aloes-level fireworks display to be held in conjunction with their Family Day on
June 5, 2004,.
GS 14-414 indicates that the Board shall consider a fireworks permit for "any and all kinds of fireworks
and explosives, which are used for exhibitions or amusement purposes."
County policy further requires assurance from the sponsoring agency that adequate public safety
measures will be exercised; and that the County will be protected as an additional insured on the
insurance policy(ies) covering the event.
The display will occur in the Town of Chapel Hill Fire Department's jurisdiction. County approval is a
criterion for Town approval. Blue Cross/Blue Shield has fulfilled the County's criteria for a pyrotechnic
permit as evidenced by the attached documents.
On the day of the display, the Town of Chapel HiII Fire Department will be responsible for ensuring that
the site is set up as per the site plan and the inventory of pyrotechnics is commensurate with what is
approved. At such point that both the Chapel Hill Fire Department and the Acting Emergency
Management Director or his designee are satisfied that the criteria for approval have been met, the
permit will be signed and officially issued..
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the pyrotechnics permit
for the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Family Day 2004, June 5, 2004, contingent upon final approval of the set
up by the Acting Emergency Management Director or his designee..
