Assemblymember Michelle Bonnet Hale said this is the fourth time the committee has taken up this issue.
She said the time frames would remind the same, but members are interested in banning the big mortars in neighborhoods. One ordinance would allow the Assembly to designate CBJ property for fireworks use by resolution. A separate draft ordinance would clarify that the sale of fireworks is taxable.
Ordinances dealing with fireworks are scheduled for introduction at Wednesday's special Assembly meeting. Public comment would be taken during the next regular Assembly meeting on May 24.
Rules of procedure for in-person meetings which are returning May 24 will be discussed. The resolution up for discussion would stipulate that certain CBJ public meetings continue to be broadcast in a way that maximizes public participation. It also stipulates that public seating would need to be in compliance with laws, including public health laws like social distancing.
