The city of Truesdale is restricting its relatively broad fireworks law for future Fourth of July celebrations.Previously, anyone in the city has been allowed to shoot or explode fireworks from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., July 1 until July 10. But some current board of aldermen members said they weren’t happy about late-night fireworks during the week.Mayor Chris Watson said there had been a few complaints about fireworks being allowed so late.“I think it’s a little much, especially if you have to go to work the next day,” Alderman Robert Green said during the board’s Aug. 9 meeting.A Truesdale fireworks ordinance has been in place since 2006, according to city documents. In 2008, aldermen broadened the time for fireworks from four days to 10, so the window would usually include two weekends, City Administrator MaryLou Rainwater said.Alderman Shalene Blackwood advised that restricting the time for fireworks too much would mean no one could light fireworks at night. She pointed out that it doesn’t get dark until after 9 p.m. during that time of summer. She agreed that 11 p.m. is late for fireworks.The solution aldermen arrived at is to adjust the time fireworks are allowed depending on the day of the week. The board of aldermen voted to approve the new rules.Fireworks will still be allowed from July 1-10, with the following time restrictions:• July 3-4, regardless of the day — 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.• Sunday through Thursday — 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.• Friday and Saturday — 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.The new time restrictions will be enforced beginning next year.The rules are intended to continue accommodating people who want to shoot fireworks during the weekend or on the Fourth of July, Watson said.When asked if making the rules more complicated would increase the likelihood of people shooting fireworks at the wrong time, he said “There’s always a chance someone is going to be in violation without knowing.”Watson added that the city’s police have discretion to issue warnings instead of citations.“We’re pretty lenient in those types of situations, especially with a new ordinance,” Watson said.Reminder information about fireworks times will be published in The Record and sent out with water bills ahead of next year’s holiday, he said.Fireworks
