Impact analysis
Illegal fireworks enforcement cost about $85,000 last year; 109 citations assessed over $130,000, with collection pending.
Nonprofits keeping booth revenue and residents expecting quieter, safer July 4th celebrations.
Nonprofits would bear higher fees if enforcement costs are passed to them; council pushed back on that.
