From the meeting
At the September 14, 2026 meeting, the board tabled the fireworks contract tied to the December 5, 2026 tree lighting. Members discussed whether to sign the contract or shorten the show after the cost rose from $5,500 to $7,000 due to tariffs. The decision is still open, so the key buying issue is whether the event budget supports the revised scope.
