§ 92.07 FIREWORKS DISPLAY. A permit from the City Council is required for the possession, use, or discharge of display fireworks, articles pyrotechnic or special effects (collectively for purposes of this subchapter hereinafter "display fireworks") for public or private display within the city on terms and in a manner consistent with the Act. The storage of fireworks shall be prohibited in the city except in compliance with the Act. All permits shall be subject to compliance with this subchapter and the Act. In the event of any conflict between this subchapter and the Act, the more stringent provision shall control. (Ord. passed 5-10-2004; Am.

Application for permits shall be made in writing, on forms provided by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, to the City Council at least 60 days in advance of the date of the display of fireworks. If an application for a permit is not timely filed as provided herein, the City Council may consider the application only if the applicant shows good cause for submitting a late application. The City Council may, by resolution, establish a nonrefundable fee schedule for the city's cost of reviewing and acting on the application. If such schedule is established by the City Council, the applicant shall submit the nonrefundable fee with the permit application. The City Council may grant, grant with conditions, or deny the permit in accordance with the Act and this subchapter. Notwithstanding any provision of this subchapter, no applicant has a right to issuance of a permit. Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to limit or impair the discretion of the City Council to deny a permit pursuant to the Act or this chapter. If a permit is granted, the sale, possession, use, or discharge of fireworks for such display shall comply with all terms and conditions of the permit. A permit granted hereunder shall not be transferable, nor shall any such permit be extended beyond the dates set out therein. A permit for a particular display granted by the city under the Act's predecessor shall remain valid subject to its original terms. (Ord. 130909-1, passed 9-9-2013) § 92.09 LIABILITY INSURANCE. Before a permit for display fireworks is granted by the City Council, the applicant shall furnish to the city a liability insurance policy, in a form satisfactory to the city, in the amount of not less than $1,000,000 to satisfy claims for damages to property or personal injuries arising out of an act or omission on the part of the applicant, or an agent or employee thereof.

Dear Saugatuck City Council, Thank you for your consideration of our firework display for our wedding. I apologize for the late submission. This is my first wedding and first firework display (hopefully!) and took a fair amount of coordination to organize. My wedding planner, Sarah, reached out to the city in early May 2025 and was able to get some information on what it would take to secure city approval at that time. We then researched a variety of firework vendors, reviewed safe location options, and got in touch with the US Coast Guard in order to have all our ducks in a row to complete the city’s application. Again, I apologize for the delay in submitting this information to you, but hope you are still able to approve the request. We are really looking forward to celebrating our marriage amongst our family & friends in Saugatuck this summer and know this would be a wonderful way to cap off the evening.
Thank you for your time & consideration, Andrea Haines
