Pasco City Council to revisit rules on non‑aerial fireworks
Summary
At a February 9 workshop, Pasco City Council announced it will consider whether to rethink the city's allowance of non‑aerial fireworks (legal in Pasco since 2018) and said the workshop will include an opportunity for public comment.
Pasco City Council on Feb. 9 flagged a workshop item to reconsider the city's rule permitting non‑aerial fireworks, which the Moderator said "have been legal to buy and use in Pasco since 2018." The item is scheduled for discussion during the workshop and the council will take public comment on the issue.
The Moderator framed the item as a policy review rather than a final decision, noting that the council will hear perspectives and consider whether the rule should be changed. The transcript does not record any formal motion, staff recommendation details, or proposed ordinance language; no vote occurred during the preview.
Why it matters: changes would affect residents' ability to buy and use certain consumer fireworks within Pasco. The workshop format allows for public input before any formal ordinance or code amendment is proposed. Next steps: the council will discuss the matter during the workshop and accept public comment; any formal proposal, staff report, or vote was not recorded in the transcript.
