The Independence City Commission will consider a propsal for the annual fireworks display when it meets in regular session this Thursday.

The three-person commission will look at two proposals for the display, which is scheduled for July 4th. One proposal calls for the same price as 2019, but would require a smaller show overall. The other proposal will keep the same show as the 2019 edition, but will cost an extra $1,050. Rainbow Fireworks out of Inman, Kansas put forward both proposals.

Other items on this week's agenda include the consideration of change orders regarding the 1916 City Hall project and the consideration of demolition bids for several condemned properties throughout the city. The commission will also receive a March Sales Tax report and a 2020 Census update.
