The committee chose to leave in-place, an ordinance that says it is not legal to set off fireworks within 300-feet of any public school buildings, assisted living facility, or hospital. Also, fireworks can only be shot-off on private property. Atlantic Police will crack down on issuing warnings and tickets to those who were warned last year about violating the ordinance.

Violators will be subject to a $250 fine plus $85 in court costs. Anyone who was previously found guilty of violating the ordinance, may be subject to a $600 fine plus court costs if they are a repeat offender. The ordinance allows residents of Atlantic to set off fireworks from Noon until 10-p.m. July 2nd and 3rd. Displays are allowed on July 4th, from Noon until 11-p.m. The Committee urges residents of Atlantic to respect the wishes of their neighbors, if they complain about the noise and light show during the late night hours.
