Event announcer urges safe fireworks, promotes Fourth on Broadway at McKenzie Park
Summary
An event announcer at a Lubbock gathering urged people to clean up fireworks, warned of enforcement under a city ordinance and promoted the Fourth on Broadway event at McKenzie Park, directing listeners to lbkjulyfourth.org.
An event announcer urged attendees to clean up fireworks and suggested moving them outside city limits or to an authorized public celebration, while promoting the city's Fourth on Broadway at McKenzie Park and directing listeners to lbkjulyfourth.org.
The announcer said enforcement would prioritize safety over immediate citations: "Instead of issuing you a citation and, confiscating your fireworks, I'm gonna I'm gonna let you go ahead and grab all that up, clean up your mess, take it out to the county where it's legal to pop fireworks, do so in a safe manner, or you can go down to fourth on Broadway. This year's fourth on Broadway is held at McKenzie Park. Come out for the parade, picnic, concert, and fireworks." The announcer also said, "For more information, visit lbkjulyfourth.org. Hey, happy fourth of July. Be safe."
The announcer referenced a local ordinance and suggested alternatives to on-the-spot citation or confiscation. The recording includes another remark that referenced a fine: "Come here. Now I'm out of mustache and you're out $500." The transcript does not specify which ordinance number applies, who would issue a fine, or whether the event was sponsored by the city or a private organizer.
No formal action, motion or vote is recorded in the transcript excerpt. The remarks appear to be a public-safety and event announcement rather than a deliberative discussion by a governing body.
