AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Approve an Electronic Firing Show with
Devastating Pyrotechnics of San Francisco, CA, for Fourth of July Fireworks for 2022
($1,000) and Ratifying the City Manager's Decision to Approve an Electronic Firing Show
for 2021 ($1,000)
MEETING DATE: September 15, 2021
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Interim Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to approve an electronic firing
show with Devastating Pyrotechnics of San Francisco, CA for Fourth of
July fireworks shows for 2021 and 2022 (not to exceed $2,000).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On July 4, 2021, Devastating Pyrotechnics provided the City with a
superior firework show. Devastating Pyrotechnics fireworks selection
included large aerial shells and fireworks that displayed on the water at
Lodi Lake. Unsolicited comments from the public, both at the event and afterward, regarding the fireworks
show were universally favorable. In addition, Devastating Pyrotechnics staff was professional and cooperative
with City needs.
Prior to the fireworks show in 2021, the City of Lodi Fire Marshall, Brad Doell, requested a confirmation that
Devastating Pyrotechnics would be shooting an electronic show. Per Devastating Pyrotechnics, they could do
an all electronic firing however there would be an additional cost of $1,000 per show. Due to the time -sensitive
nature of this request, Deputy City Manager, Andrew Keys, acting in his capacity at the time as Interim Parks,
Recreation, and Cultural Services Director, approved the $1,000 expense for the 2021 show to be electronic.
Staff recommends that City Council authorize a resolution ratifying the City Manager's decision to approve
an electronically fired show for 2021 and 2022.
FISCAL IMPACT: $1,000 per year for the 2021 and 2022 electronically fired fireworks show.
