Example: CUP, these permits are hindering city beautification and zoning, the less approved, the better. Variances are the same, variances to the code compromises the purpose of the code, the less approved the better. If community really needs one of the above permits, they will pay the fee. Alternative to these fees: go by income base. If Council is concerned for the elderly, disadvantaged, lets propose a disadvantaged category, for example: Under $50,000 annual income CUP and Variance only $200 (no base fees) with proof of income tax AP Past Fees / August 2024 Updated Fees Comparison Other Application Fees -Not found in Past fees (In Addition to Base Fees) MH Park $500+ base fees Base Fees MH Subdivision $500+base fees 0.00 <4.99 acres. $800 RV Park $500+base fees 5-9.99 acres. $1,000 Rezoning $50+base fees 10 acres or more.. $1,000+$50 acre over 10 Voluntary Annex $200+base fees Development Agreement: $1,500+ attorney fees Special District Petition: $1,000+attorney fees (MUD, PID, TIRZ, etc) (d) Subdivision Improvement Plans (SIP)+ acreage fees-Not found in Past fees Acreage fees: 0-100 acres.. $200 Next 150 acres.$100 Over 250 acres.$50 1.

Downfal: Not having city contractors to review plans and agreements leaves the city with incomplete infrastructure connections and subdivisions built inadequately that causes the city to come in and fix at a later date.

And yet, just like all fireworks companies, we still import fireworks from China.. but only from select manufacturers in China. Some factories in China just aren'ta as good as others. And this is why we areso selective in the factories from where we purchase our products.. .to ensure the aerial shells break HIGH INT THE SKY, where shells are supposed to perform, NOT low to the ground! We also import pyrotechnic products from Spain, where quality is also a priority.

All Western Enterprises' technicians are covered by statutory limits ofTexas State Worker's Compensation coverage. 2. MUSIC REQUIREMENTS. The music engineer of Wester Enterprises, Inc., Steve Linn, will produce a special musical arrangement for your event production at no additional charge. Mr. Linn will interface with the primary contact, Kaylinn Paxson, and your Sound Contractor to discuss the technical elements of ensuring music coordination and synchrony. The music for your production is produced on a designated MP3 and then the firing command cues are "back timed" on a separate "track" ofthe MP3. These command cues are transmitted to the firing location of the fireworks to ensure synchronization and precision. 3. GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PERFORMANCE. Your Pyromusical" production requires a tremendous amount of time and artistic talent to make it distinctive and unique, The design chorcographer for your production will design and script the pyrotechnics around your special musical score. Color combinations and effects are blended together to match the music. Each and every shell is "back timed" on the command track of the tape, which means that every aerial shell must be launched into the sky at a specific moment, so that it will actually break in the sky precisely at the intended moment during the music. This ensures the synchronization ofpyrotechnics to thé music. The picturesque setting ofyour event provides a very unique venue for your production which enables us to employ special aerial shells that cannot be utilized in most venues. These highly spécialized aerial shells will create a breathtaking addition to your production.

Our company culture revolves around "best safety practices" and routine safety training. Safety is not just our job, it's our number one priority! Check the Facts We get it. Business is business, but before anyone hires a fireworks company, we encourage fact-checking all firework companies who are contenders! Although it often comes down to dollars and cents, choosing the right company should always make sense. We recommend considering specific criteria including company experience, reputation, regulatory compliance, customer service, and insurance coverage (general liability, auto, workers compensation). Also, verify the company has a USDOT number and Hazmat Safety Permit, specifically for 1.3g explosives.

Page 9 Page 10 Workflow Process The professional fireworks industry is a very unique industry. For every show we do, whether it's a small birthday party to an extravaganza on the 4th of July, each show goes through a workflow of multiple layers. Here is a brief summary of the attention Pyro Shows will give YOUR show! Administrative Once Show Directors have performed site evaluations, completed the show design process, and coordinated crews-the admin process may begin! Lots of moving documents! Contracts, sales orders, insurance certificates, site diagrams, product summaries, regulatory information, processing paperwork for local and state permit applications. The list goes on! D Design and Scripting Select each firework based on color, visual effect, and timing. Write the show script that D goes to the field operations team and to the PYRO Pyrotech. Ifthe show is musically accompanied, SHOWS create the soundtrack. If choreographed, create the custom soundtrack and script each firework 0 to the beat of the music. TE*P Fleld Operations Gather fireworks from storage magazines based on design script. Scan firework bar codes of each piece of product for internal inventory and ATF compliance. Pack and secure each show with all fireworks, mortar racks, fire extinguishers, PPE equipment, and post-show cleanup supplies. Once each show is "compiled", then they are loaded onto trucks. Firework Show Day Pyrotech Crew Chief and crew members arrive on site the morning of show (or days before the show depending on the show size). Survey and monitor fallout safety area, mark launch site safety zone, begin unloading equipment, assembling racks, placing racks in accordance to show design script. Load explosives into mortars, cover/waterproof loaded fireworks. Wire explosives, check wiring, continuity, firing system and backup firing system. Get ready for showtime!
