Cerritos : Council to Act on Wording for Fireworks Ballot Issue
Wednesday’s Fourth of July fireworks may have been the last for Cerritos, where voters are scheduled to tell the City Council in November whether they want to ban the sale and use of fireworks.
After lengthy debate late last summer on the issue, the City Council decided to ask the voters for advice, but not until this year. The council delayed the advisory referendum a full year in order to give various nonprofit groups that depend on fireworks sales time to consider other funding sources.
City Atty. J. Kenneth Brown has sent the council a memo saying he will ask it to approve the wording of the ballot measure at its Aug. 1 meeting.
