City Council Minutes Page 5 <br /> May 19,2014 <br /> Mayor Dietz stated he would like to take $4,000 of the city's contribution and put it <br /> toward fireworks. He further stated he is going to find a way for the city to be in <br /> charge of the fireworks every year in order for it to be permanent and not have to <br /> worry each year if the event will happen. <br /> Council questioned other possible issues such as insurance, liability, crowd size, <br /> restroom facilities, signage, advertising, and volunteers from current Committee. <br /> Councilmember Motin stated he would like the city attorney to review the matter. <br /> He expressed concerns regarding the public purpose expenditure laws. <br /> Council consensus was to manage the event this year but they would like another <br /> organization to take it over. Council stated they would be willing to budget for the <br /> fireworks each year. <br /> Councilmember Wilson expressed concerns with having a large-scale event and <br /> stated the intent of the Committee was to keep it community oriented. <br /> Mr. Portner noted this item could come back to Council at the next meeting as a <br /> consent item and to give staff time to pull information together on costs/labor. <br /> 9.
