June 15, 2009 - Mayor and Common Council adopted an Urgency Ordinance amending San
Bernardino Municipal Code Section 8.60.095 regarding regulatory fees for the sale of fireworks.
Background:
The City of San Bernardino permits the retail sale of fireworks in all areas south of the I-210
Freeway. Licensees and fireworks suppliers are required to pay a regulatory fee, which is set
annually by the Mayor and Common Council. The purpose of the regulatory fee is to raise
sufficient funds to pay for fireworks education, fireworks safety awareness campaign, and
enforcing the provisions of the Municipal Code.
The regulatory fee is based on the gross sales of all fireworks sold in the City. The Finance
Department proposes the amount of the regulatory fee based on the licensee's fireworks sales
financial statements from the prior year. Each licensee is required to submit fireworks sales
financial statements to the City Clerk's Office no later than August 31. One half of the regulatory
fee is to be paid by the licensee and the remaining half is to be paid by the fireworks supplier. In
accordance with Section 8.60.095(B) of the Municipal Code, the regulatory fee rate may not
exceed more than 12 percent of the total gross sales of fireworks sold in the City during the prior
year. This regulatory fee rate must be adopted by the Mayor and Common Council no later than
the last meeting prior to the first day of firework sales, as provided for in Sections 8.60.095(B)
and 8.60.070 (P) of the Municipal Code.
Each year,prior to imposing a fee, staff prepares a study of the anticipated costs associated with
education, awareness, and enforcement of the Municipal Code. Exhibit A provides an
assessment, itemized by department, of the costs associated with fireworks sales including the
staff time incurred by the Police Department, Fire Department, and City Clerk's Office, and the
public education and outreach component. The total estimated cost associated with sale of
fireworks in the City is $80,834. The estimated revenue collection this year is $84,000. The fee
cannot exceed more than 12%and it also cannot exceed the city's actual costs, so it may have to
be adjusted once the actual revenues are reported.
