Council approves $18,000–$22,000 design for Magna 4th of July float, city to own and store it
Summary
The Council approved a Fourth of July parade float design and a plan to seek sponsor funding; estimated construction cost is $18,000–$22,000 and annual storage would cost roughly $1,500–$1,800.
Mayor Mick Sudbury presented a rendering of a proposed Fourth of July parade float to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary and said sponsor names would be displayed on the back to recognize contributors. He told the Council the estimated initial cost to construct the float would range between $18,000 and $22,000 and that Modern Design would store the float for an annual fee of about $1,500–$1,800.
Council Member Terry George moved to approve the proposed Modern Design float and Council Member Megan Olsen seconded; the motion passed 5-0. An audience member identified only as "Todd" said the City already owned a float base with a motor, and Mayor Sudbury said he would inspect the existing base to determine whether it could be reused to lower costs.
