PYROMUSICAL SHOW FOR 1981 FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATII
Planning is underway to produce a high-quality Fourth of July show in 1981.
PyroSpectaculars, the firm who did the 1980show, and Zambelli, another
prominent firm, have been contacted regarding the 1981 show. A representative
from Zambelli met with staff and agreed to submit a proposal; however no
proposal was received from Zambelli. PyroSpectaculars has submitted a
proposal for a pyromusical, which appears to be of the same high quality as
the show they produced in 1980. It is themed, "The American Cowboy," and
covers an aspect of our heritage which is very popular right now. A patriotic
theme is also an integral part of this show.
Last year's pyromusical cost $6,200, including the fireworks, music, narration,
pyrotechnician, insurance coverage, permits, sales tax, and rental of the
sound system. This year's quote is $6,650 for the same coverage, an increase
of only 7.3%. Staff feels this is a reasonable price, well within the $9,000
budgeted by Council for the entire project.
The Tustin Unified School District has again pledged cooperation in the
co-sponsorship of the show. Confirmation regarding utilization of Northrup
Stadium has been received, per the attached letter. Due to the extensive
support which the School District gives this event, I recommend they be listed
in all promotional materials as co-sponsor of the event.
Authorization to sign the contract with PyroSpectaculars is requested at this
Council meeting because the quoted price is only good if the contract is signed
by December 30, 1980. After that time, the show will cost us $7,200. Since we
were pleased with last year's show, it seems logical to proceed with contract
finalization now and save $550.
Further planning regarding other details of the 1981 Celebration will commence
in January, and Council will be informed as we progress towards an even more
spectacular "Fourth" in 1981!!!
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Authorize staff to execute contract with PyroSpectaculars for 1981
. pyromusical show in amount of $6,650.
2. Authorize staff to invite Tustin Unified School District to co-sponsor the
event.

Dear Royleen:
Re: Use of Northrup Stadium for 1981 Fourth of July Festivities
This letter is'written' to confim our conversation yesterday
