Edwardsville City Council Meeting (6-2-26)

Contract Approved for Enhanced July 4th Fireworks Display
The City Council approved a sole source resolution authorizing the award of a contract to JM Displays Incorporated for a fireworks display at Legion Post 199 on July 4th, not to exceed $20,000. The budget was increased due to the Sesquicentennial celebration, resulting in a longer and larger display. This is a one-time increase in budget, and the vendor was chosen on a sole source basis due to the difficulty in securing fireworks distributors. The display is considered a special benefit for the city. [cite: 511-523]
