Grantsville confirms July 4 fireworks paid; volunteers and logistics arranged
Summary
At an open session May 21, Grantsville officials said the July 4 fireworks are paid for, event setup costs were cut by about $3,000, and volunteer sign-ups and coordination calls are being scheduled.
Grantsville officials said at an open session May 21 that the city’s July 4 celebration will proceed with fireworks already paid for, volunteer sign-ups circulating and coordinated planning calls to finalize logistics.
A council member said scouts will run a car show and that the city has “cut the the cost” of setup because “Crazy Eli is doing the all of the setup for the the bounce houses and stuff and the tents this year, which saved us about $3,000.” The same speaker noted that “we're fireworks is already paid for and exhausted.”
Council members and staff discussed volunteer coverage for related events, including a pickleball tournament scheduled the day after July 4. A staff member said Gina would circulate a sign-up sheet and send reminders so volunteers can register even if they are out of town.
The group agreed to use short, focused conference calls with event leads — named in the discussion as Michelle Sterling and Jenna Jensen — instead of scheduling additional full in-person meetings to coordinate details.
Officials also referenced routine packet and planning procedures for upcoming meetings and invited council members to attend a planning session the next day.
Next steps described at the session were distribution of the volunteer sign-up sheet by Gina, scheduled conference calls with event leads to walk through setup details, and follow-up at the planning meeting to confirm assignments and timing.
