City Councilor Becky Irwin said she has received many communications from residents about the fireworks display. Nobody is opposed to it that I ve heard, Irwin said.
Samantha Malloy, manager of parks and recreation with the city, said the city budgeted $65,000 in fiscal 2021 to make the fireworks spectacle possible. We are currently working on receiving a quote from (the firework company), Malloy said.
