Baldwin City resident asks council to roll back fireworks sale days
Summary
Gerard Darren Tovitch of the Knights of Columbus asked the council to revert fireworks sales from six days back to four, saying sales concentrate in the final three days and longer sale windows trouble residents and pets.
At the start of public comment, Gerard Darren Tovitch of the Knights of Columbus told the council he supports reducing the number of days vendors may sell fireworks. Tovitch said the group asked six years ago for six sale days but recent experience shows "most of our sales are in the last 3 days of the 4 day period," and he urged returning to a four‑day window so residents and animals have fewer disruptive days.
The council thanked Tovitch for his comments but did not take immediate action; the matter was not placed on the meeting agenda for formal consideration at this session.
