Council advances fireworks ordinance to first reading; waiver of readings fails
Summary
On June 10 the Huxley City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 545 amending Chapter 41 on fireworks. A later motion to waive the second and third readings failed for lack of a supermajority (3–1).
The Huxley City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 545, which would amend Chapter 41 (Public Health & Safety) related to fireworks, at its June 10 meeting.
Council Member Mulder moved to approve the first reading and Council Member Echer seconded. The vote to approve the first reading was recorded as ayes from Mulder, Rigler, Echer and Murphy.
After the first reading, Council Member Echer moved, with Council Member Mulder seconding, to waive the rules and proceed with the second and third readings at the same meeting. The motion failed because it did not receive the required supermajority: ayes were Echer, Murphy and Mulder; Council Member Rigler voted nay. The minutes state the motion failed due to lack of supermajority; no further action was taken on additional readings at that meeting.
The ordinance remains at the first-reading stage; the council may schedule subsequent readings per the city code and required notice provisions.
