Council to revise municipal fireworks code after cited WAC is repealed
Summary
Council member Matt Gilbert reported the city's fireworks ordinance references a WAC that has been repealed. Staff will research the correct WAC/RCW citations and bring an updated ordinance for council consideration.
Council Member Matt Gilbert told the council that the municipal code provision governing fireworks cites a Washington Administrative Code (WAC) that has since been repealed.
Council directed city clerks to research the appropriate WAC or Revised Code of Washington (RCW) references and update the city ordinance to reflect current state rules. No ordinance language was drafted at the meeting; the item will return for council action when staff presents recommended revisions.
Council members emphasized the need to ensure the city's code points to current state law rather than a repealed regulation so enforcement actions are grounded in operative citations.
