Reso. #070-2012 – Resolution Regarding Temporary Individual Fireworks Ban. The
Mayor reviewed the details of the resolution. She stated that the Council will have to
make some determinations regarding the permits that have been issued if a ban is
authorized. While another weekend could be chosen to use fireworks, Police Chief

cannot take place today regarding changing the ordinance. She stated that Ald.
Soltysiak expressed interest in taking it back to the Public Safety Committee.

members suggested allowing the permit holders to use fireworks any day between July
1 through July 7 if the ban is lifted prior to July 7.

Bullet Point 3 to read, “If the ban extends through July 7, 2012 or the permit
holder’s chosen dates, permit holders may request to have their permits
rescinded and the fee paid refunded at any time before June 14, 2013.”
New Bullet Point 4 to read, “If the ban is lifted before July 7, 2012, permits issued
for this year will be valid for firework usage July 1 through July 7, 2012.”
Existing Bullet Point 4 to become 5. Ald. Soltysiak seconded; motion carried.
