(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening set fireworks dates and times.
Residents will be allowed to discharge fireworks at the City Lake from July 1st to July 3rd until 10 pm, and on July 4th until midnight.
In addition, fireworks will be allowed in the city limits on July 3rd from noon until 8 pm as a result of Commission action taken in April.
The city will hold its annual fireworks display on July 3rd at dusk.
Also at the meeting, the Hiawatha Police Department was presented with a traffic safety award for their participation in the Kansas Department of Transportation's Special Traffic Enforcement Program or STEP.
On hand to make the presentation was KDOT Law Enforcement Liaison, Donnie Hughes.
Hughes said there are four STEP campaigns throughout the year, which are designed to increase seat belt use and enforce impaired and distracted driving laws.
He said law enforcement agencies have the option to participate in three of the four campaigns, and the Hiawatha Police Department routinely takes part in all four of them.
Hiawatha Police Sgt. Lorenzo Mendez runs the campaigns.
