There will be fireworks at the Roseburg City Council meeting on Monday night.

A light agenda is highlighted with a fireworks risk assessment. Staff are asking the council to consider possible actions to establish a ban on the sale, possession and use of fireworks inside the city. Councilors will look at data regarding the impact fireworks have had in helping to start fires around Oregon and even in Roseburg.

Staff will also present information about how the use of fireworks can be triggering for veterans and people living with post-traumatic stress disorders and the distress that fireworks can cause to pets.

If the council supports the concept of a ban on fireworks, they could direct staff to prepare an ordinance for consideration at a future meeting.

Other items are on the agenda as well. The meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. in the city council chambers. It can be seen on the city’s Facebook page or viewed later at www.cityofroseburg.org
