(KLZA)--Humboldt City Attorney Dylan Handley discussed several topics with the City Council during the October 17th Council meeting.
Acting Mayor Dean Bogle noted the Council is revisiting the ordinance regulation the discharge of fireworks. Handley said currently the ordinance reads, fireworks are legal in Humboldt if they are legal in Nebraska.
Sheriff Don Pounds has suggested adding a fine and time limits to the current ordinance to help with enforcement. Handley noted the maximum fine is $500 and said he would work at incorporating the fine into a new ordinance.
Handley also informed the Council the City of Humboldt currently does not have a vandalism ordinance. The City can utilize the Nebraska State Statutes to prosecute should there be an occurrence. Handley will be preparing language for signs in the parks.
Handley also updated the Council on his review of a contract from EMS Services and costs of “Collections,” for ambulance services. Handley said he sees no problem with the City moving ahead and using EMS Services, to collect unpaid bills.
The Council then approved contracting with the company for collections.
Handly also touched on the City parking ordinance, which is 48 hours on city streets. Deputy McMann was in attendance and noted that under the ordinance, if someone leaves town for a 3-day weekend they could return to find a parking ticket if their vehicle is left on a city street.
Handley suggested lengthening the time limit on parking.
