Park Board approves fireworks and event decorations, confirms security for Independence Day
Summary
The board approved a vendor for Independence Day fireworks, authorized security staffing, and approved decorative purchases (balloon arches and star stands) for summer events; staff will coordinate logistics and volunteers for Memorial Day and other events.
At the May 13 meeting the Haslet Park Board authorized contracts and purchases for summer and upcoming events. The board approved a fireworks contractor for the Independence Day program and approved funding for on‑site security staffing; staff said four officers will be on duty for a portion of the evening, with the total estimated officers' cost around $1,450.
The board discussed decoration options including balloon arches and star stands for the event area, reviewed multiple vendor quotes and asked staff to consider latex‑allergy risks and wind exposure near the stage. After discussion a motion to order two arches and two star stands was seconded and approved.
Separately, Park staff confirmed Memorial Day program logistics for May 25: chairs, podium, sound system, plaque presentation plans, volunteers to place flags the Friday before the event, and a rain plan to relocate activities to the basketball courts if necessary. The board asked staff to coordinate volunteers and to finalize the printed program.
What happens next: staff will finalize vendor contracts, confirm officer scheduling with the Sheriff's Office, post event details on the parks web page, and execute logistics for Memorial Day and Independence Day.
