OSAWATOMIE – A proposal to extend fireworks sales through July 6 failed to prompt a change in the city’s ordinance.
On Wednesday, June 26, City Council members voted unanimously not to amend the fireworks ordinance. A fireworks vendor had requested the city extend sales through July 6. The amended ordinance under consideration Wednesday night also tied use of fireworks to the same July 6 extension.
The current city ordinance will remain in effect, which allows fireworks to be sold from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. June 29 through July 4. Fireworks can be discharged in the community from June 29 through July 4, during the hours of 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. June 29 through July 3 and from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. July 4.
