barton county logo

The Barton County Commission will hold a special meeting at 9 a.m. Thursday to consider a resolution allowing the discharge of fireworks from June 27 through July 4 of each year. This would cover only the unincorporated areas of the county, not within any incorporated city limits.

The period coincides with the sale period of fireworks in Barton County, according to the agenda. Specifically stated is that no fireworks shall be discharged in Barton County if a burn ban is in effect.

The meeting will be live-streamed through Microsoft Teams. Citizens may view the meeting through their own sign-in or by signing in “anonymously.” Follow the link https://bit.ly/3NvI2kD. 

Those wishing to participate in the discussion of any item can call 620-793-1800 for instructions.
