The Ellis County Commission once again will discuss fireworks at Monday’s commission meeting.

At last week’s meeting, Rural Fire Director Darin Myers told the commission he was not in favor of allowing the discharge of fireworks on the Fourth of July in unincorporated areas of Ellis County.

The commission directed Myers to find out what other counties are planning to do with fireworks and report back to the commission this week.

In other business, the commission will hear funding requests from a number of outside agencies. According to the commission agenda, Ellis County appropriated $1,325,029 to outside agencies in 2016.

The commission will also canvass election results from the Hays USD 489 special election.

Monday’s meeting starts at 5 p.m. with the Public Building Commission at the Ellis County Administrative Center Commission Room.
