(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission has approved an ordinance allowing the sale of fireworks within the city limits, with certain requirements.
The action came when the Commission met Monday evening on an unanimous vote.
Previously, firework stands were prohibited in the city.
Under state law, the governing body of a city may grant permission for seasonal fireworks stands between June 20th and July 7th of any year.
Vendors wanting to operate a fireworks stand in Hiawatha must apply for a permit from the city for a $30 fee.
The applicant must provide proof of at least $500,000 of liability insurance coverage.
Fireworks stands will be prohibited within 75 feet of any other structure or 100 feet of any gas station.
Vendors can apply for a permit at the Hiawatha City Hall, beginning next week.
