The Regular City Council Meeting held on April 3, 2024, in Soledad, Monterey County, focused on several key agenda items, including community events and vendor contracts.
One significant discussion centered around the city's fireworks show. The council received an update on negotiations with a vendor who previously provided fireworks for King City. The vendor offered a competitive rate of $15,000, which is $5,000 less than the previous contract. This new agreement includes more exclusions but also features stronger insurance coverage. The council ultimately decided to proceed with this vendor, securing the fireworks show for the upcoming community event.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to cost-effective solutions while ensuring community celebrations are well-supported. Further details on the event and additional agenda items were discussed, but the fireworks contract stood out as a notable achievement for the council.
