Cleanup Bonds - Fireworks_ Stands
The City Clerk discussed with the Council problems encountered in the
refunding of cash bonds for clean up of fireworks stands during the
.past July 4th period. He informed Council that the Ordinance rigidly
requires the withholding of the bond if the cleanup conditions have
not been -met by July 8th, and stated that he had waived such conditions
in the case of three organizations this past July.
In discussion by the Councilmen, it was suggested that a second date
for inspection might be set in the Ordinance, whereby if cleanup con-
'ditions had been met a portion of their cleanup bond can be refunded,
and that following that date, -for'fe`lture of the bond would be required.
On motion by Kaufman, the City Attorney was directed to prepare an
amendment to the Ordinance Code to establish this policy on fireworks
stand cleanups, Motion carried,
