Title:Direction on Holding July 4th Fireworks
Item Type:Discussion



Recommendation:

Staff recommends providing direction to Fairway to secure  fireworks vendor for the 4th of July event and begin operational planning with all event partners.  Marketing for event would include relevant masking and distancing information per current local health orders.   

Details:

In 2020 the participating cities opted to cancel the 4th of July fireworks due to COVID related gathering and distancing restrictions. 

 

Relevant Current Health Order Restrictions:

 

Six feet of physical distancing within a public space between people who do not live together.

 

Masks required while outdoors in public spaces and unable to maintain a 6-foot distance between individuals (not including individuals who reside together) with only infrequent or incidental moments of closer proximity. 

 

 

Current Johnson County Health Code does not limit gatherings for outdoor events. 

 

The 4th of July fireworks display can be observed from other areas of the city and residents homes if they do not wish to gather at the event site.
