The sale and use of “safe & sane” fireworks in the Lakeport city limits is allowed because the voters of Lakeport approved ballot Measure C in 2009. The ballot measure was in response to the Lakeport City Council's decision in the spring of 2009 to ban the sale of fireworks. More background about the ballot measure, including the voting results, can be found here: https://ballotpedia.org/City_of_Lakeport_Fireworks...
