It is unclear if a suggestion made by the mayor last month regarding the sell of pyrotechnics will be enacted upon or not.</p><p>In August Mayor Tommy Jones suggested the city allow another fireworks booth that would be specifically dedicated to Los Ba&#241;os High School clubs.</p><p>"Basically I'm asking about making one more all of them can share," Jones said about creating an extra fireworks booth. </p><p>He said it would guarantee some extra funds for the various groups at the school.</p><p>Los Ba&#241;os' ordinance allowing fireworks to be sold limits the number of sellers to six non-profit organizations based upon a ratio of one booth per 5,000 residents. A seventh booth for the Chamber of Commerce is permitted annually in exchange for the fireworks show it holds for the city. </p><p>Each year in October nonprofit groups participate in a lottery to decide which six are chosen to sell fireworks. The pyrotechnics can only be sold legally during the week of the Fourth of July.</p><p>Fireworks have been legal in Los Ba&#241;os since 2005. In that time nonprofits have made tens of thousands of dollars by selling them. </p><p>Gary Caropreso,Los Ba&#241;os High School's athletic director,said he believes Jones may have a good idea. </p><p>"To me it would help, the way budgets are going," he said. </p><p>Caropreso has experience selling fireworks for the high school's sports boosters club. He said the money the club was able to generate did allow it to get some things it needed.</p><p>Fire Chief Chet Guintini is skeptical of Jones' idea.</p><p>"I don't know what that's going to do for them because their profit will probably be pretty small," Guintini said. "I don't know if that's going to work or whether it's better to play the game with luck." </p><p>Guintini said having one booth set aside for the high school club, in his way of thinking, would disqualify them from participating in the lottery for the other six. That would mean only one club could sell fireworks each year. Guintini said he received information that there may be as many as 12 clubs on campus. He said it would be up to the school district as to whether one club would share its profits with all of the other groups. </p><p>Guintini said an additional booth, however, would not be a problem. He said Los Ba&#241;os is reaching the population size where another booth would keep the ratio of one for every 5,000 residents consistent. </p><p>The Los Ba&#241;os Fire Department inspects all fireworks booths before they open. Guintini said another booth would add to the workload but would not create a severe problem.</p><p>"It would be that much more time we'd have to spend. Is it a deal breaker? No," he said. </p><p>Guintini said in the three years since fireworks have been legal he has noticed an increase in the use of illegal pyrotechnics. </p><p>"Once you tell people safe and sane fireworks are legal they think all fireworks are safe and sane," he said.
