Council approves Landis Productions contract for July 4 fireworks; budget shortfall noted
Summary
The council approved a contract with Landis (Landis Productions Inc.) for the July 4, 2026 fireworks display — selecting an 860‑shell show at $23,320 — and staff said roughly $5,000 is available in special projects funds to cover the difference from the $20,000 budget.
City staff presented a proposed contract with Landis Productions Inc. for the July 4, 2026 fireworks display. The vendor has provided the city’s displays for more than a decade, and staff said an 18% price increase this year (mostly due to tariffs) led the company to propose sharing the increase; city options included keeping the previous budget ($20,000) for a 650‑shell show or selecting the 860‑shell show at $23,320.
Councilman Byrd moved to approve the contract for the 860‑shell option totaling $23,320 pending legal approval; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff noted about $5,000 in combined mayoral and council special‑projects budgets could be used to cover the excess above the $20,000 budget.
No public opposition was recorded during the discussion.
