On Aug. 19 the Waverly City Council completed third reading and adopted Ordinance 47-2026, an amendment to local fireworks code (ordinance 15-19.04).
The ordinance was read by title and council discussed a question from Councilmember Bevins about Section A, which says no person shall possess or sell fireworks in the municipality except for licensed manufacturers.
