At its March 19 meeting, the City of Elkhorn Common Council voted unanimously in favor of approving spending an extra five percent on fireworks for the 2018 July 4 fireworks display.
The approved fireworks display will cost the city $10,500 for 2018 to have the same level of display as later year.
Council members were informed at the March 8 meeting that J&M Displays, who the council had approved a three-year contract with for its fireworks display, had notified the city it would either be raising its cost by 5 percent or the city would be receiving 5 percent less fireworks for this year’s show. City Attorney Ward Phillips was asked to review the contract with J&M Displays at that time.
