Resident urges council to restore fireworks in Picayune ordinance
Summary
Resident Carl Hodge asked the council to revise an updated city ordinance to allow fireworks within Picayune, saying existing vendors were grandfathered and urging the council to restore previous allowances for the next season.
During the public-comment period, resident Carl Hodge asked the council to revise the city's updated fireworks ordinance to restore allowances for sales and use inside Picayune. Hodge said current restrictions prevent fireworks within the city limits and that some vendors operating previously were effectively grandfathered; he urged the council to "get this passed now for the next season."
Hodge told the council he had previously granted the city certain rights over his property and recounted a recent vendor setup he said fell short of building-code clearances; he asked the council to return to the prior ordinance language to permit fireworks within the city. The council did not take immediate action on the request; the comment was recorded during the public-comment portion of the meeting.
