Chief says fireworks enforcement is difficult; council forms website committee
Summary
Police Chief Gabe Barone said fireworks are hard to enforce under current ordinances and state law; Councilmember Lisa Whitmyer agreed to lead a committee to explore a content-management system for the department website.
Police Chief Gabe Barone told council that village ordinances and state laws covering fireworks exist but are difficult for officers to enforce effectively. He said two new part-time officers have helped fill staffing gaps and assisted with promotional activities.
Council member Lisa Whitmyer offered to lead a committee to explore website upgrades and the use of a content-management system (CMS) so department content can be maintained in-house. Whitmyer agreed to head the committee when asked by Mayor Kathleen Hale.
The council did not take formal action on enforcement strategy at the meeting; the CMS committee will report back with options for updating the police department web presence and ways to reduce maintenance costs.
