Council approves two-address fireworks permit; applicant to be told 11 p.m. curfew
Summary
The Coleshrew City Council approved a special-event fireworks permit for Jessica Jones for two addresses, with staff to notify the applicant of an 11 p.m. time restriction; one council member abstained from the vote.
The Coleshrew City Council approved a special-event fireworks permit for Jessica Jones to hold displays at 1542 Piedmont and 528 Poplar, with staff instructed to notify the applicant of an 11 p.m. curfew.
A council member made the motion to approve the permit for Coleshrew Days and it was seconded. Council members recorded their votes during roll call: Council member Rosander voted "Aye," Council member Longacre voted "Aye," Council member Hadler said "I abstain," and Council member Dudley was recorded by the clerk. The chair declared the permit approved.
Council members and staff discussed accountability and logistics before the vote. Staff said the applicant listed on the permit would be the responsible party for compliance. One council member asked whether the permit included time restrictions; staff replied the written permit did not show a curfew but said the applicant would be informed of the city’s 11 p.m. expectation to respect workers and neighbors. "When I write her letter, she will be told," a staff member said.
The vote carried with a majority of aye votes and one abstention. The council did not add additional operational conditions on the record beyond instructing staff to notify the applicant about the time restriction.
