Carson Approves Fireworks Ban Results and Establishes Reward Program for Information
The City Council discussed and adopted Resolution 26078, which confirmed the results of a special municipal election on June 2nd, 2026, where Measure FW failed. This outcome means that fireworks stands will not be permitted in the city, and the city will instead host its own fireworks show. The council also adopted Ordinance 23-2305, establishing procedures for offering and paying rewards for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of individuals whose actions result in injury or death.
City Council Declares Reflections Mini Park Portion Surplus Land Amidst Resident Opposition

Speakers proposed converting the land into a nature park, urban wilderness area, or dog park instead of residential development.
