INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the City Council approve Santa Monica
College' s request for fireworks for their "Grand Summer Nights"
concert program.
DISCUSSION
At its regularly scheduled meeting of October 11, 1983, the city
Council established the policy that, aside from the Municipal
sponsored Fourth of July fireworks, Council approval would be
required for special fireworks events.
For the past several years, Santa Monica College has conducted an
evening program for the community on the day before the Fourth of
July entitled, nCelebrate America". This program is held in the
Santa Monica College stadium and includes a fireworks display.
This year the College is expanding its summer program to include
eight family oriented concerts offered free to the community. Of
these, the Saturday, July 1, 1989, concert will be a salute to

July 29, and Saturday, September 9, 1989, be allowed to produce
three minute fireworks display at the end of each concert. Once
again, these concert programs will be free to the community.
For all three concerts the fireworks displays will begin at 10:00
p.m. at the conclusion of each evening's performance.

Monica College pays all related inherent costs.
