Subject: 4 of July Fireworks Display
Date: June 22, 1998
Issue
Several weeks ago, the City of Cottage Grove was contacted by representatives
of the Cottage Grove Jaycees regardinq� the relocation of the fireworks site this
year due to road construction along 80 Street. In past years, the event has
taken piace on schooi district property between Crestview Elementary School
and Park Senior High Schooi.
Discussion
On Thursday, June 18` Sargent Jim Smith and i met with representatives of the
Jaycees at Kingston Park. In touring the park and the surrounding area, it was
agreed that the best location wouid be directiy behind Grey Cloud Elementary
School. The launching area will be located in a tali grass area on the southern
edge of the baseball fields, just north of the N.S.P. Easement Property.
It was noted that a 420-foot safety zone must be provided for between the
launching area and spectators. The City will work with the Jaycees and the
Public Safety Department to erect temporary fence in the area.
The site appears to lend itself nicely for this type of event in that significant
parking is available at the Cottage Grove Jr. High, Kingston Park and Grey Cloud
Elementary.
The Jaycees have been requested to submit a permit application for launching of
the fireworks to the Public Safety Department. Acting Chief Jim Kinsey will be
reviewing and conditionally approving the permit prior to the event.
