BRONSON, MI (WTVB) â The Bronson City Council formally approved the cityâs 2021-2022 Fiscal Year budget on Monday as they met in the City Council chambers for the first time since March of 2020.
City Manager Brandon Mersman said the budget has a projected deficit of just over $286,000 due to uncertainty over state revenue sharing and ACT 51 road funds following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Council passed a resolution which amends the 2021 Fiscal Year budget. Mersman said they anticipated revenues to exceed expenses in the General Fund by a healthy amount due in large part to the city getting larger than expected revenues from the stateâs Personal Property Tax Reimbursement Programs. In addition, the city will be getting COVID-19 funds though various grants.
BRONSON, MI (WTVB) – The Bronson City Council passed an ordinance on Monday night which is designed to restrict the use of fireworks in the city.
City Manager Brandon Mersman says Bronson Police have gotten a number of fireworks complaints with most of them involving loud fireworks in the late evening or overnight hours.
Previously, there was no ordinance in place, thus there were no restrictions on the use of fireworks in Bronson.
The Ordinance restricts the use of fireworks to the designated holidays consistent with a 2011 law.
The ordinance prohibits the discharge of fireworks on public, school, or church properties. It also prohibits the possession or use of fireworks for minors unless under the direct supervision of an adult at all times.
