§ 10.18.040. Use permits.

A.

The borough mayor or his designee may issue a fireworks use permit, within 30 calendar days from the date of application, to municipalities, fair associations, amusement parks and other organizations, or groups for public fireworks displays provided that the application shows, and issuance of the permit is conditioned upon:

1.

The dates and locations of the proposed displays;

2.

That all appropriate or required state licenses or certificates have been procured;

3.

That a cash or corporate security bond has been filed with the borough in the amount of at least $1,500 to insure payment of damages to persons or property caused by the display. The bond requirements may be waived if the holder of the permit has in effect an insurance policy which accomplishes the same purpose as the bond;

4.

That the appropriate fire departments have been notified and invited to be in attendance for fire control purposes;

5.

That the state fire marshal has issued the necessary permit if required by law; and

6.

The name and address of the applicant, and, if required pursuant to this code, the name and address of the professional pyrotechnician or company who will be conducting the display.

B.

A professional pyrotechnician shall conduct all fireworks displays that include "dangerous fireworks" as defined in AS 18.72.100(1). A fireworks display involving no "dangerous fireworks" may be conducted without a professional pyrotechnician.

C.

In the event that an objection is received from the state fire marshal or any applicable fire department, within said 30-day period, the mayor may deny the application for cause shown.
