RE: Fayetteville Code corrections {§ 97.082 (B) and § 94.05 (D)} and
permitting a public fireworks display by the Botanical Garden Society
of the Ozarks
Alderman Justin Tenant asked me to draft an ordinance to allow the
Botanical Garden Society of the Ozarks to conduct a public fireworks display this
year. Reviewing the Fayetteville Code sections relevant to this change, I noted
that both § 97.082 (B) and § 94.05 (D) refer mistakenly to § 94.04 rather than §
94.05 Use of Fireworks. As part of this ordinance to grant permission (through
the Mayor and Fire Chief) for the'Botanical Garden to conduct a public fireworks
display, I also corrected those two mistaken code references.
As I drafted this proposed ordinance, I did NOT limit this possible public
fireworks display to July 1st - 4th. Rather the permission is similar to that given
the U of A to set off an annual public fireworks display not at a definite date, but
at the end of the Razorbacks' last regular season home game.
The City Council is free to remove this leeway, specify the date when a
public fireworks display would be allowed or even turn down this request. This
proposed change would not authorize private citizens to set off fireworks in the
park at any time. It simply would authorize a professional with a valid state
fireworks permit to request the Mayor and Fire Chief to okay a public fireworks
display permit for the Botanical Gardens.
