objection to the paragraph permitting the Fire District to regulate
the sale of fireworks within the incorportated limits, since the City
observes the State regulations regarding the sale of Safe & Sane
fireworks.
Council members also felt that rates should be set by millage and
should not be set at a higher rate than the rate paid by residents
living outside the city. It was agreed that the city would not be
obligated for Fire District bonds or -for any excess millage levied
by that District, to retire bonds.

Department was instructed to check for parking violations. Charles
