FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS CONTRACT
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Authorize the recreation Superintendent to sign an agreement, in the amount of
$7,900 with the San Diego Fireworks Company to provide a pyro-musical show for
the Annual Fourth of July Celebration.
BACKGROUND:
Planning is underway to produce another high quality Fourth of July Show for
1985. This year staff is recommmending that the contract be awarded to the San
Diego Fireworks Company. Their proposal provided additional aerial shells as
well as an afternoon program of audience enticements for the total price of
$7,900. The price will include a narrated musical program and a sound system.
Staff feels that this is a reasonable price, an increase of $150 since last
year, and well within the budget.
The San Diego Fireworks Company comes highly recommended by the San Diego
Padres, L.A. Dodgers and other municipalities. The theme for this years show is
"Sing America Sing", it promises to be a spectacular show and one you won't want
to miss.
The Tustin Unified School District has again pledged cooperation; staff has
received confirmation regarding utilization of Northrup Field and School
District maintenance staff at no charge. Due to the extensive support which the
school district gives this event, staff again recommends they be a co-sponsor.
Council will be informed as we progress towards another outstanding Fourth of
July Celebration.
