(KNZA)--Hiawatha's ban on the discharge of fireworks within the city limits will remain in place.
City Administrator Brad Scott brought up the issue for discussion at Monday's City Commission meeting to gauge whether the Commission was interested in repealing the ban, which has been in place since the 1980's.
Scott said he checked with a number of cities in the area and most allow fireworks to be discharged in their community's. He said alot of the bans are in bigger cities.
Mayor Becky Shamburg, along with Commissioners Dave Middendorf and Evans Woehlecke, said they supported keeping the ban in place, while Commissioners Brian Shefferd and Toni Hull voiced support for repealing the ban.
Meanwhile, Hiawatha residents will be allowed to discharge fireworks at the City Lake, July 1st-4th. The Commission approved allowing residents to discharge fireworks at the lake July 1st and 2nd until 10 p.m. and July 3rd and 4th until midnight. The city will holds its annual public fireworks display on July 3rd at dusk
