Garden City residents clash over extending the July 4 fireworks period. Mayor Janet Doll opposes longer dates citing diminished meaning and noise, while Chief Shelton backs the change as safer, aligning sales with discharge. Residents cite veterans, pets, and sleep concerns amid complaints of late fireworks and safety worries.
At the June 2 city commission meeting Commissioner Melvin Dale urged aligning discharge dates with sale dates. The commission voted 3-2 to allow fireworks in city limits daily from 10 30 a m to 10 30 p m from June 27 to July 5, up from the prior July 3 5 window. Dale admitted backing the extended timeframe and noted activity will occur regardless of enforcement.
Citizens at a Tuesday town hall debated limiting fireworks discharge days after 10:30 p.m. and questioned a jump in electric service charges from 7.50 to 22.50 per month. City officials cited state dates, cost analyses, and planned revitalization ideas for Garden City Plaza amid potential sales.
