Ceresco boosts fireworks funding, approves street closure and event lights for Ceresco Days
Summary
The Board approved donating an additional $1,000 to expand the fireworks show size, authorized purchase of solar lights up to $165 for 'Light to Unite', and approved closing Pine Street for a church event; the Board also recognized two local businesses for milestone anniversaries.
The Board voted on several community-event items on June 16, approving an additional $1,000 donation to expand the Ceresco Days fireworks back to the larger 3-inch shells and to extend show length. Chair Peterson emphasized the committee should secure two bids; Trustee Burklund volunteered to ask how many shells are added per $500 to help quantify the donation's effect.
The Board also approved spending up to $165 to purchase lights for the national "Light to Unite" initiative; Trustee Custer agreed to install solar lights herself rather than task maintenance staff. The Board approved closing Pine Street (from 2nd & Pine west to the church) on June 20 from 4:30–8:00 p.m. or longer for Covenant Church activities; barricade delivery was assigned to staff Gushard. The Board recognized CerescoBank for 115 years of service and Ernie's in Ceresco for 80 years of service.
Peterson moved and the Board unanimously approved the additional fireworks donation and the lights purchase; motions to close Pine Street also passed unanimously. The minutes record no dissenting votes on these community-event items.
