Cedar Rapids city council members took the final step to banning shooting off consumer fireworks inside city limits on December 5.

The vote on a second and third reading of an ordinance was unanimous Tuesday afternoon. A first vote on the ordinance in November passed 9-0.

The city council earlier voted to limit the sales of fireworks during the time period permitted by state law to industrial zones in the city.

One police spokesperson says only one vendor has secured a sales license for the New Year’s Day fireworks sales period.

The sales period begins December 10.

Under state law, cities can regulate the use of fireworks but can’t ban sales. Cities can use zoning ordinances to restrict sales to certain parts of the city.
