2019 Protest for Fire Pits and Property Rights

From early February until mid May, Manistee city officials including the city attorney, city manager, fire marshal and deputy chief infringe on individual's property rights by trying to outlaw fire pits by amending fire ordinance.[1] On May 21, David Holmer attended the first meeting to adopt the amended ordinance. He asked Council to table the proposed fire ordinance. Being ignored by Council with an unanimous passing of motion to introduce the ordinance amending the fire code, David spoke again regarding the proposed fire ordinance.[2] This time, he pleads with Council to not adopt the amended wording which creates negative space and becomes emotional about them not allowing residents to enjoy bonfires in their own backyard and not allowing their children to sing 'Kum By Yah' by an outdoor campfire.[3] David started speaking publicly with both council members and neighborhood associations, bringing his concerns about property rights out in the open. And, on June 4, the Council agreed unanimously to table the discussions until after a Work Session where these concerns can be addressed.[4] [5] On June 11, David Holmer appeared before the Work Session and addressed his concerns to the Council. He mentioned that changing fire code impacts Home Owner's Insurance and that 32' lots with fire features would be considered 'open flame' and not allowed under the new wording, neither could it be grandfathered in.[6] On June 18, Manistee city council unanimously voted against adopting the amended ordinance to the fire code.[7]
