During the meeting, council members deliberated on which company to hire for the July Fourth celebrations. Historically, the city had used a family-run business for fireworks displays but switched to a drone and laser show during a supply chain issue related to the pandemic. The council debated between different vendors, considering the quality, price, and additional services like sound systems. In a motion passed with a majority vote, the council agreed to engage Skylighters Fireworks, noting the higher caliber and altitude of their displays. The package chosen costs $20,500, which includes a performance component to enhance the event.
