| was trying to find our 4" of July Ordinance while everyone was speaking. | am just wondering why it is not
specific to the day like the 4" of July one is that we have to do every year?
President Wilshire
I’m not sure what your question is?
Alderwoman Kelly
Everybody says “what”. Each year we have to approve the 4" of July Fireworks, correct?
President Wilshire
Yes.

| appreciate BG’s idea but maybe if they had known about this a little bit earlier, we could have vetted this a
little bit more. But | really do have some concerns as Corporation Counsel about all of these people who are

| believe this was something with a long history, it goes back to primarily the use of fireworks at Holman
Stadium and the neighbors in that area objecting to it.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Klee
Madam President, | just want to make sure | have this. Yes this is the Ordinance relative to Bishop Guertin
displaying fireworks during their celebration of their drive-through diploma. Just for the public | just wanted
to make sure that they understand what this is, in fact, doing and that is actually a short, | think it is non-
commercial type of fireworks and Atlas will be setting those off for what the Fire Marshall...
