Illegal fireworks enforcement gaps
Summary
Dee Dee Chambers described fireworks going off at 10-11 p.m., distressing a war veteran with PTSD, seniors, and pets — and police say fines go nowhere because officers must witness the violation and enforcement stops at a second warning. She asked the council to put the issue on an agenda for clarification.
