Ellis County commissioners keep fireworks policy unchanged after discussion
Summary
Commissioners discussed constituent requests for a centralized public fireworks site but, citing sheriff operations and enforcement concerns, agreed to keep current county fireworks policy unchanged.
Commissioner Nathan Leiker reported receiving emails and letters from constituents requesting a safe, centralized location in the county for setting off fireworks. Commissioner Michael Berges said the fairgrounds had been suggested as a potential site for community fireworks and discussed whether concentrating fireworks in one location would be practical.
County Administrator Darin Myers said Sheriff Braun did not favor establishing a single county-managed fireworks site because it would divert law-enforcement resources; Berges noted most complaints originate in the city. After discussion, the commissioners agreed to leave the county fireworks policy as it currently stands.
