Commissioners approve $5,000 for July 4 fireworks show
Summary
Pratt County commissioners voted unanimously to give $5,000 to the American Legion Riders to support a larger Fourth of July fireworks display tied to the U.S. 250th anniversary.
Pratt County commissioners approved a $5,000 payment to the American Legion Riders to help fund the July 4 fireworks show.
A meeting participant requesting funding said, “So this year, we're asking for 5,000,” noting three entities hope to contribute about $15,000 in total to support a larger program for the nation’s 250th anniversary. Commissioner (Speaker 7) moved the funding, and Chair (Speaker 1) seconded and called for the vote; the motion passed on a voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The request arose during the general business portion of the meeting; one commissioner noted it would have been helpful to know the larger ask before the budget was finalized. The commission did not attach conditions to the payment. The next procedural step is that the county will disburse the approved funds to the American Legion Riders as requested.
