Commissioners report quieter Fourth of July, praise police and animal-control rescue
Summary
Commissioners told the commission that fireworks activity was reduced compared with prior years and thanked Seaside PD; Commissioner Foljacki described an animal-control officer rescuing an injured goose at the duck pond.
Several commissioners reported fewer fireworks complaints this year and praised the police department’s outreach and enforcement.
"It was much quieter this year," Commissioner Foljacki said, noting only occasional loud explosions and thanking Officer Alex from animal control for rescuing a skinny, injured goose at the duck pond. Foljacki described the officer applying pain medication and arranging follow-up care for the bird; commissioners said neighbors expressed appreciation.
Other commissioners said they had used the city text-reporting system and received prompt responses from police, including drone deployment in some instances. Commissioners agreed to collect more neighborhood feedback on fireworks and to share information with staff for continuing enforcement planning.
