South Charleston City Council moved to adopt the "Brunch Bill" on Thursday.
The bill will allow the sale of alcoholic beverages by certain licensees beginning at 10 a.m. on Sundays.
"We pride ourselves on being business friendly and we pride ourselves on economic development," Mayor Frank Mullens said. "We want to make sure our businesses have equal opportunities."
The bill was passed by unanimous voice vote.
As promised at the previous meeting, Mullens brought legislation to restrict the use of fireworks in the city of South Charleston.
"We took a look at this from all angles and tried to be as fair as we could," Mullens said. "I think it is a good piece of legislation because it regulates days and times that this can be done and I think that was the biggest concern."
Council discussed that the complaints about fireworks were largely from pet owners, whose pets were upset by the fireworks being set off in the city.
"We are going to allow the discharge of fireworks on four holidays: Memorial Day, Labor Day, July Fourth and New Years Eve," Mullens said. "The hours will be until 10 p.m. and until 12:30 p.m. on New Years Eve."
Mullens said the penalty for breaking the new "fireworks ordinance," should it pass, will be a $500 fine or 30 days in jail
A municipal judge would distribute these penalties.
"We addressed all of those issues here: when you can let them off, where you can let them off, how long you can let them off," Mullens said. "We are going to make those people who are letting them off responsible for any damage they cause."
Mullens said that the ordinance is aimed at keeping the city safe.
"Hopefully what we do is get folks to use these fireworks more responsibly and more considerately to their neighbors," Mullens said. "That is the whole goal.
"It is not to ban them, it is not to take the fun out of your holidays, but we live in a city and we have to be responsible."
The ordinance passed by unanimous voice vote for a second reading.
Council also approved the closure of Oakes Avenue and 7th Avenue to 6th Avenue on Aug. 14 and from Aug. 17-20 for the city's annual Summerfest.
In other action regarding Summerfest, Council suspended open container laws on 7th Avenue at Oakes Avenue and the first block of D Street.
Councilman Jamie Sibold of Ward 7 presented a consideration for the city's road salt purchase for the year.
"We awarded the bid to Compass Materials for the total of $178,470 and I move that we receive the bid as filed," Sibold said.
The consideration was passed by unanimous roll call voice vote.
In other action, council passed the second reading of an ordinance to adopt the current replacement pages of city code from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016 by unanimous voice vote.
Fire Chief John Taylor reminded council that there will be a flag dedication at 5 p.m. Aug. 5 at the new fire station.
All members of council attended Thursday's meeting except Councilman Don Ryan of Ward 8 because he is on vacation.
Council's next meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 18 on the second floor of City Hall, D Street.
