Falls City Council to address fireworks schedule and dangerous dogs
07/17/2024

(KLZA)--The Falls City Council is expected to discuss and eventually take action on city codes concerning the discharge of fireworks in the city and the dangerous dog ordinance.

During Monday nights Council meeting, Ward I Councilman Don Ferguson said that he received a number of complaints this year about how late fireworks were being set off leading up to and following Independence Day and suggested it is time for the council to set a time of day by which the shooting of fireworks must stop..

Falls City does not currently have a set time of day that fireworks must stop being set off. Ferguson pointed out his suggestion only concerns the exhibition of fireworks and not the selling of fireworks by vendors.

The dangerous dog ordinance was brought up by Megan and Stephen Randall. Megan Randall was bit recently by a dog when she went to her brothers house to check on a package and was bit by one of several dogs that belonged to her brothers neighbor. All of the dogs belonged to the same person and were running loose.

The Council is expected to revisit the city ordinance concerning dangerous dogs and possible amend the ordinance. No action was taken Monday night.

Council members also approved resolution authorizing the city to assess unpaid vacant property registration fees totaling $750 against three properties.

Vacant properties can be registered for free. If they are not registered there is a $250 fee following 6 months and $500 for each 180 day period that follows without registering the properties.

The properties are at 2411 Harlan owned by John Sipf and Rebecca Sipf of Peoria, Illinois; 2213 Hiland Avenue owned by Paul Meyer of Auburn and 918 Fulton Street owned by Tammie Fee of Yates Center, Kansas.
