The Vernon Police Officers Benefit Association (VPOBA) has requested that the Fireworks Ordinance be reintroduced for Council approval. This Ordinance will allow up to 3 non-profit [IRS sec. 501(c)(3)] organizations that are located in the City to sell fireworks during the 4th of July holiday time period. At this time Ordinance 644, adopted by Council in 1951, does not allow the sale of fireworks in Vernon. Thirty -Nine (39) Cities in Los Angeles County currently allow fireworks sales. I have researched Cities that are similar to the City of Vernon (industrial based), that allow fireworks sales. They include the Cities of Carson, Commerce, Industry, Irwindale, and Santa Fe Springs. Additionally, I examined the ordinances of the Cities of Huntington Park, Maywood, and Monterey Park. This ordinance was written to model these Cities, so we are consistent with the regulations that are enforced so as to safely allow the sale of fireworks.
