Section 5609.1 is added to Chapter 56 of the California Fire Code to read as follows:

5609.1 Sale Permit Required. No person, co-partnership, partnership, organization, or group shall sell safe and sane fireworks within the City without first having applied for and received a permit therefor in compliance with the terms of this Ordinance. Upon receipt of a written application for a permit pursuant to this ordinance, the city manager shall direct the Fire Chief to cause an investigation to be made and make a report to the city manager of his findings and his recommendations for or against the issuance of a permit, together with his reasons therefor. After the receipt of such report and recommendations, the City Manager shall have the power, in his discretion, to grant or deny the application. The denial of an application may be appealed to the City council by a written notice of appeal filed with the city clerk within five (5) days after notice of the city manager’s action. Any permit granted by the city manager may be subject to such reasonable conditions and restrictions as may be imposed by the city manager, and such conditions and restrictions shall be complied with by the permittee.
