Board approves fireworks and drone-show agreements, subject to town‑attorney review
Summary
The board approved agreements with Starflight Drone Shows and Celebration Fireworks for Founders Day events, but the approvals are explicitly conditioned on final review by the town attorney because of insurance and regulatory requirements for drone displays.
The Town of Mamakating board voted to approve agreements with Starflight Drone Shows and Celebration Fireworks for the upcoming Founders Day fireworks event, with the approvals expressly conditioned on final review and sign-off by the town attorney.
Supervisor and board members described the drone‑show contract as carrying substantial insurance and regulatory requirements; Supervisor noted Ben has been handling the insurance and compliance work. A board member moved that approval be subject to the town attorney’s final approval; the motion was moved by Mike and seconded by Tyler and carried by voice vote.
Supervisor outlined event logistics in the meeting’s announcements: gates for the event will open at 6 p.m. and the fireworks are expected to start around 9 p.m., with a rain date the following day. The town continues to finalize sponsorship numbers and the funding allocation tied to the event contracts, the Supervisor said.
The transcript records the approval as subject to attorney review rather than a fully executed contract; the town’s attorney review and final execution remain outstanding steps before the agreements can be considered fully binding.
