Bettendorf City Council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the director of parks and recreation to issue a $37,500 purchase order to J&M Displays for the July 4 fireworks display.

The contract was the first item on a two-part special meeting agenda. No questions were raised about the vendor selection or the contract amount during debate.
