Council approves $60,000 fireworks contract for July 3 display
Summary
Council authorized a $60,000 fireworks contract with American Fireworks Company for the July 3 Independence Day display (50% deposit due June 1); the cost will be shared with Sylvania Township and other partners, and the ordinance was passed as an emergency measure.
Mr. McCann told council he negotiated a larger fireworks display for the July 3 celebration and asked for additional funds to purchase 8‑inch shells and extend the program. He introduced an ordinance authorizing an agreement with American Fireworks Company and read that the display will cost $60,000 with a 50% deposit due June 1 to be shared by the city, Sylvania Township and the Sylvania Area Joint Recreation District and area businesses.
Council moved and approved the ordinance as an emergency measure by voice vote. The transcript contains an inconsistent ordinance number (referred to as both "82" and read as "80"); the contract amount and deposit schedule as read into the record were $60,000 and a 50% deposit due 06/01/2026.
