Sioux City to reconsider fireworks ordinance
Sioux City leaders are going to revisit the city’s fireworks ordinance before New Year’s Eve.
Councilman Dan Moore brought up the issue at the end of Monday’s city council meeting saying that 10,000 milliary veterans in the area are impacted negatively by fireworks. He says one of the biggest solutions they’ve come up with is educating everyone in Sioux City on the impact of fireworks on veterans and those who have health issues as well.
Moore wants to run public service ads asking local residents to not use fireworks until the legally permitted time of 1 p.m. December 31st through 12:30 a.m. New Year’s Eve. Resident Mark Solheim has been working on the veterans fireworks PSA plan with Moore. “What actually happens in a person’s mind when they hear these things is the fear, the reoccurrence, a terrible time frame that you wish you could forget and you never can,” Solheim says.
