FIREWORKS
Sections:
8.08.020 Designation of area for use or discharge of common fireworks.
8.08.010 Statement of policy.
The city council of the city believes that it should take all reasonable steps to protect persons and property by limiting the sale and use of fireworks and designating an area to allow persons to shoot fireworks. A designated area for the use of fireworks will offer safety for the activity and allow the activity to be policed for illegal fireworks. (Ord. 98-561 § 1, 1998: Ord. 518 § 1, 1993)
