City of Morrow places Freedom Fest fireworks and production contracts on council agenda
Summary
Council was asked to consider a $30,000 contract with Freedom Fireworks (with a $6,000 deposit) and an agreement with The Show Business Special Event Services for up to $14,200 for stage, audio and lighting for the June 27 Freedom Fest; the items were announced for consideration but no vote or approval was recorded in the work session minutes.
Mayor John J. Lampl II announced two New Business items for council consideration related to the City’s Freedom Fest scheduled for June 27, 2026.
The first item is a proposed professional services agreement with Freedom Fireworks, LLC for a total contract amount of $30,000, including an initial deposit of $6,000, to provide the fireworks display. The second item is a proposed agreement with The Show Business, Special Event Services, Inc. for stage, audio, lighting and production services in an amount not to exceed $14,200.
The minutes record that these items were placed on the agenda for consideration; the work session record does not show a council vote or final approval on either contract. If approved at a later meeting, the contracts would fund the city’s June 27 Freedom Fest event.
Why it matters: Vendor contracts for public events commit city funds and require appropriate council approval and oversight. The items will return for formal action if council chooses to approve them.
Next steps: Council consideration of these agreements was listed in the New Business agenda; the record does not show whether council voted to approve them at the work session.
