15. NOTICE OF MOTION 15.1 REVISED - A Motion to request staff to review fireworks in the city (Councillor Parrish) Councillor Parrish amended the motion to remove the wording: Sales must be in sections of permanent building with a principle business other than fireworks. Councillor Parrish summarized the rational for the Motion to request staff to conduct research and to report on the subject matter. Councillor Brad Butt commented on looking forward to receiving the industries input so that fireworks can continue to be sold and used safely for everyone to enjoy. Councillor Dasko wants to ensure that a thorough study is conducted with consultation from all stakeholders. Councillor Damerla expressed her concern that the Motion does not identify the problems that exist, for which this Motion is addressing, and that from the onset, the Motion suggests a ban of fireworks. Further Councillor Damerla expressed concern that small businesses would be impacted by the proposed changes if implemented, and suggested amendments to the Motion that would still give direction to staff but would state the problems that are to be addressed. In response to Councillor Parrish's inquiry, Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation and Works advised that the direction is clear and that staff will work with Fire Services staff, consult with the industry, conduct public consultations and report back to Council on it's recommendations. Councillor Damerla noted her disappointment with the motion and wit
