Federal Way should price fireworks citiations based on operating costs
July 15, 2008 · Updated 2:56 PM
The costs incurred by the police for issuing fireworks citations, including vehicle, overtime and related overhead costs should be offset by the income from the citations themselves. And maybe a 50 percent surcharge just because.
As a rule the city should set all fines based on the cost of enforcement.
