[0:01] It's 12 o'clock. We'll hurry and start our special emergency meeting today to discuss the governor's request that and banning all personal fireworks in the state of Utah. So, I don't know if you've read some of that. He's banned. It's the municipalities are still okay.
[0:32] out of that but all of the personal fireworks have been banned so that opens up
[0:41] the door to where we can do things we've talked to Justin Weyman he's got a
[0:46] couple of different resolutions for it I mean you can you can provide them a
[0:50] space if you want your fire department there that they can do it in or you can
[0:55] ban them all together so I have both of these resolutions to know
[1:12] how I
[1:14] I guess so further so everybody with mouth pleasant, mouth pleasant, they decided to go ahead with what the government should get and we're going to ban the personal use of them.
[1:24] They'll do their public fireworks. Fairview on the 4th of July is going to allow them to go if they want to do personal fireworks to go to the rodeo arena and the fire department will be there for a set time and they can let them off then.
[1:40] But I don't know where, if you go ahead with your menist, our city fireworks, the fire department's
[1:49] going to be right there. I don't know how you would ever bring them back to, you know,
[1:54] have somebody else, somewhere else to do something that different. And is it worth it?
[1:59] You look at these people that lost their homes, they don't know if they got a home, you know,
[2:05] the power turned off, you know, I mean, and I guess it's just one more thing in this
[2:13] year to show isn't it? This is probably one of the worst droughts here in the history
[2:20] of the state of Utah.
[2:24] So, I wanted everybody's input. We've got, I don't, nobody called
[2:30] in. So, I guess it's me and you three to decide what you want to do.
[2:46] I think
[2:49] it's kind of the same old story. You got 98% of the people, it's going to be safe,
[2:57] but that 2% is going to burn the town down. You know,
[3:07] I'm reading and I don't see
[3:10] where the city is legally binding by that order.
[3:21] You can decide to opt out of it, but if you opt out of it, we're liable.
[3:27] We're liable for.
[3:29] It's a reply.
[3:30] Or if we designate someplace saying go liable.
[3:34] And if it still causes a fire, you're liable.
[3:53] It doesn't like it just blows in the afternoon.
[3:55] No, it's a knife.
[3:56] Yeah, and this year with everything, you know, the sad part of it is in Buronai, even though
[4:03] we have ordinances that they're supposed to keep the weeds or yards or stuff, you ride
[4:09] through town, and there is dry, cheap grass yards and weeds and stuff, also take it one and
[4:19] The wind, boom, you know, and away we go.
[4:25] So you know, I can't say that I always agree with some of the decrees that come from the
[4:36] state level that, you know, they decree, sometimes it's a little harsh on us country folks
[4:44] down here.
[4:45] But this one, I got to say, I actually agree with what he's done.
[4:50] And you know, for the sake of everybody's livelihood and our neighbors and friends and
[4:58] everybody, I would think that they should understand, you know, the reason why we're going to go,
[5:09] or would go along with that.
[5:12] What's going to do for you?
[5:15] So,
[5:19] of course, it's a lot of work.
[5:22] You guys, do you decide to open it up?
[5:25] Do you was
[5:28] trying to hand this thing?
[5:29] You know,
[5:33] Matt doesn't create this.
[5:34] So you're wearing the three-out one.
[5:36] Hey, before they came to pick you, please.
[5:39] And in his documents, did you want 50 of them to review?
[5:42] Yeah, that is the bad news.
[5:44] And his decrylate, his timeframe is on that paper.
[5:49] I think it's from the second to the fifth.
[5:55] So he's going to look at it. He's not shutting everything clear down for
[5:59] pioneering. You know, but for now and we're not passing a ordinance, we're just
[6:10] making a resolution. The sad part of it is that this all happens so fast, even the
[6:16] Justin Wayman, the city of attorney, doesn't know. He can't get the right answer. So he
[6:22] just pass a resolution. If we need to, if it needs to change, we'll have to probably
[6:27] come back in and change that, but for right now, it's just a resolution. That way, we
[6:32] can get the word out, we can clap it out, the people know. The sooner we get it out there.
[6:36] Why worry a little bit about resources? I mean, the state's burdened out right now. We all
[6:40] know about it everywhere. I would just, I would just add here to you two great big
[6:44] have captured three of them over the major fire.
[6:50] Well, the governor's told him he says that's
[6:52] the problem. We don't have any more manpower to throw it another fire. We don't have any resource
[6:58] for, you know, they're not going to be anybody to respond.
[7:04] So, so they can open it up and open it
[7:20] So they're fired, and he's going to stay right there and throw you in, so
[7:26] they're
[7:27] going to throw the words, and you have a self-righteous support.
[7:29] And a lot of part is,
[7:34] you know, we don't have, we've got, what, three bar drugs, you know,
[7:42] and if everybody's like, not far away, who knows where they're going to go?
[7:47] No, I think so.
[7:51] I'm not going to lie, it makes it easier on us on this panel.
[7:54] Yeah, because if it's bad, then we don't have to determine who's...
[7:59] And I would just say that we do our part to try to keep everybody safe
[8:06] and not have anybody, you know, lost the life or lost the property
[8:13] and do our part and get going with the government and bad and do this.
[8:17] I'll do it for the right reason.
[8:20] The kids can do fireworks next year.
[8:25] When we save fireworks.
[8:27] Or save them.
[8:27] Pills.
[8:28] Or sparklers and stuff like that, too.
[8:32] Everything.
[8:33] Everything.
[8:33] Everything can be
[8:38] because they have a ban on the cell phone.
[8:41] So they can still sell it
[8:53] this year.
[8:59] You want me to read these resolutions to you?
[9:06] Any part of that?
[9:07] says
[9:12] whereas Utah code 10-8-47 empowered municipal legislative bodies to prevent
[9:22] conditions have to public safety including the regulation and prohibiting of
[9:30] fireworks and ignition sources in accordance with Utah code 53-7-225 and whereas
[9:40] as you talk code 10-8-84 author, I can run.
[9:44] I see you can pass all resolutions
[9:45] and rules necessary to secure the safety,
[9:48] help and general welfare of the municipality
[9:50] and its inhabitants.
[9:52] And whereas on June 25th, 2026,
[9:56] Governor Cox has declared a state of emergency,
[9:59] due to the fire conditions, due to the high burn index
[10:02] and low motor content in vegetation,
[10:05] which combined with weather conditions
[10:08] creates a significant public grip and whereas on June 25th, the government
[10:14] caught steady Utah executive orders suspended the Utah division of State
[10:20] Forestry's statutory authority thus permitting the State Forth or to ban all
[10:26] fireworks within state municipalities effectively permitting a ban on all
[10:34] Fireworks.
[10:38] The Utah, whereas the Utah State Division of State Forfeiture has been,
[10:45] the
[10:47] denotation of all fireworks prepared and executed through a licensed firework show and coordinator
[10:54] where the fireworks are strictly used within a municipality designated area as jointly determined
[11:01] by the city mayor and the fire chief and where I said council finds it in the absolute best
[11:11] entrance of public safety and welfare and citizens to impose fire restrictions and restrict
[11:17] the use of private fireworks in the with the municipality family in the Illinois city.
[11:27] So, is there two different regulations?
[11:30] The other one, the other one didn't talk to about letting them have a, a, the wording
[11:37] changes to have it, so you got a designated area.
[11:40] Yeah, one is set.
[11:43] Where Ag Maroni City has designated certain areas for public use of fireworks within the
[11:47] municipal boundaries of this city.
[11:50] And that one, what the next, that one's set.
[11:52] That one said, the Maroni City Council finds it absolutely in the best interest of the public
[11:56] kept and safely and well-quared in the citizens. You just want to hear me read it. I thought that
[12:02] one said that. I didn't think you'd be sitting there saying how many times will show I read that too.
[12:06] Anyway, I
[12:12] would suggest that we did adopt that and not allow. And because we're going to have
[12:18] our fire department doing fireworks here, I mean if we have time more like fairview and we
[12:24] we wasn't having fireworks show. I mean that's taking a big enough risk it can get away from them
[12:34] I truly don't know where we can truly designate any place to lie to mom, I didn't know
[12:40] it was nice, any better than any other place here, right this year, that was just when he
[12:46] called this morning said do you have a park that's in the middle of town, that's green, that's not
[12:51] on the out, that's where only place he would suggest. I know, but it's one thing, it's just right,
[12:57] and then Rome, Canada, but everything that everybody buys now goes just as high as ours does.
[13:05] So it isn't like it's just regular.
[13:08] But aren't those illegal? I'm just wondering.
[13:10] If you go off to life, I can't remember 30 years or something.
[13:13] Legal, I can't remember.
[13:15] But all of them, and everybody's lying off, that goes up in the air, they're all illegal.
[13:20] But that's what they would be lighting off.
[13:24] So we designated someplace for them.
[13:26] Yeah, I mean that then you're opening your shelf up anyway, so I think you just adopt this and don't allow it, but that's my opinion.
[13:40] Mr. Draper.
[13:42] Just say Aaron saying,
[13:46] no, we're not going to have no foreigners. We're going along just perfect.
[13:51] I think it'd be great mistake because we know, like Fred said, these things are going to happen.
[13:57] And really, they exposed where they come down, nobody knows.
[14:08] And everything's timber drying.
[14:18] For the wind, I wouldn't be too nervous about it.
[14:21] I agree with Troy.
[14:24] Fred?
[14:27] I think we need to adopt the one that don't allow them.
[14:54] So what I need is a motion to adopt this resolution.
[15:00] Number 20, 26, dash 26, dash 26. A resolution restricting open fire.
[15:10] Right, because, but they're two, depending on which one you are going to adopt, that still would have to be the same number. A resolution restricting open fire, and denotation of private fireworks within the Maronite City, Utah.
[15:28] I need a motion to adopt this resolution, motion by Taylor, second by Draper, all in favor?
[15:41] Yes, yes, Terry, roll call, roll call, sorry, I got to do roll call, Draper, yes,
[15:49] Actions, yes, Taylor, motion passed.
[15:53] So, with that being said, our special meeting, and we will get this posted after the public
[15:59] as soon as possible.
[16:00] Our special meeting is adjourned at 12, 17.
[16:04] Thank you very much for coming and have a great day.
[16:07] You better get off to get the birthday.
[16:09] They don't tell us the best they can.
