KINGSFORD — Kingsford City Council will try to reach agreement on a updated fireworks ordinance after tabling proposed changes at its most recent meeting.

Some members wanted fireworks allowed on additional holidays. Council member Cynthia Dixon-Miller said several of her neighbors like to set off fireworks at Christmas and Easter.

City Manager Mike Stelmaszek favored the minimum amount of days the city must allow fireworks by state law. Fireworks would be able to be fired off from 11 a.m. until 11:45 p.m. on specific holidays, except on New Year’s Eve, which would be until 1 a.m. The current ordinance allows fireworks until 1 a.m.

Stelmaszek showed the council the types of fireworks that are available for purchase in Michigan and explained it’s the same effect as fireworks municipalities shoot off, except they only go a few hundred feet in the air instead of 1,000 feet. He added that some lots in the city are narrow, and someone shooting off fireworks could be 20 feet from a neighbor’s house.

“There’s nothing worse than being sound asleep and having one go off at 2 a.m.,” council member Dennis Baldinelli said.

Iron Mountain has a similar ordinance, but it is worded differently, Stelmaszek said.

In other business Aug. 7, the council:

— Learned from Stelmaszek that projected attendance at the Kingsford Centennial was about 4,000 on Aug. 3, 8,000 on Aug. 4 and about 6,000 on Aug. 5. Final financial figures will be announced at a later date.

— Voted to accept the low bid from FA Industrial Services of Iron River in the amount of $1,064,112 for the East Breitung Avenue project. The city received State Category F funding of $280,000 toward the reconstruction of East Breitung from Carpenter Avenue to the city limits at Woodbine. The balance will come from the city’s major streets and water funds. The project includes replacing the water main and water main access lines to residents and businesses along this stretch in conjunction with the reconstruction. Additionally, the city will be replacing water main and access lines on the first block of Woodbine going south off of East Breitung. The city received four bids.

— Approved a resolution honoring former City Manager Anthony Edlebeck for his years of service to the community. Stelmaszek apologized for it being three years late, but said he was thankful he could include Edlebeck’s contributions to the centennial. Edlebeck served as superintendent of public works and city manager for 34 years. In the resolution they mentioned him serving during a time of crisis with excessively cold winters in 1995-96 and 2013-14, the tornado of 2002 and the multimillion-dollar study and remediation plan following a methane explosion in July 1995. Edlebeck also led a committee that sought out all undocumented history of the city’s past 100 years, resulting in the publication of a 600-page book.

— Heard Payne & Dolan will not start the Kingsford Heights project until spring because of a stipulation that they would need to pave any unfinished areas for the winter. The project will replace the 2 1/2 water lines with a 6-inch line on Wilson Avenue, Harrison Street, Cleveland Avenue, Saratoga Streets and parts of Bell Court and Rexford Avenue, with sidewalk restoration, full curb replacement, full width pavement replacement and replacing approximately 140 older water services.

— Agreed to lease a vehicle for public safety at a cost of $60,595, spread over three years. The cost will be absorbed in the budget. The city typically receives a federal Rural Development grant to help fund a vehicle each year, but the number of vehicles needed is slightly more than one a year.

— Will have a public hearing at 6:45 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 5, for zoning variance for a garage at 486 Riverhills Road.
