Capello also encouraged residents to come to enjoy the fireworks show at Coleman Park on the Fourth of July starting at 9:00 p.m. She advised that although the state now allows people to purchase aerial-type fireworks, there is nowhere in the city where a rocket may be set off because the city ordinance does not allow them to be used in proximity to structures. Councilman Richard Wertz also noted that current dry conditions increases the risk of a fire being started.
City Council members had a first reading of an ordinance that would offer a potential buyer of the property located at 900 Maple Street an additional year of Lebanon City property tax reduction, onto the five-year reduction that would normally be offered pursuant to the Local Economic Development Revitalization Assistance Act (LERTA).
