Council members praise city staff and Chief Gait for Fourth of July fireworks
Summary
Council leadership thanked city staff and Chief Gait for extensive preparation of the Fourth of July fireworks, noting multiple days of setup, long work hours in the heat, and a successful event.
Council members publicly thanked city employees for their work on the recent Fourth of July fireworks display, calling the show "absolutely fantastic" and saying it was "massively successful." The clerk noted extensive preparation and training: crews worked three solid days in the heat, carried and ran wiring, and were on site from about 7 a.m. until midnight on the day of the event, then returned the next day to pick up equipment.
The clerk singled out Chief Gait "for leading that ship" and encouraged marking a future similar event on the calendar. Council remarks praised the event as "beautiful" and credited city staff for making it possible.
These comments were part of an opening-discussion segment following approval of routine business; no formal motion or directive to staff was recorded in the available transcript.
