REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Johnathan Oliver Skinner, Director Of Community Services
Date:February 13, 2024
Subject:July 4th Fireworks Celebration on the Lake
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Production Agreement with Pyro
Spectaculars, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $48,000 for the 4th of July Annual Fireworks
Spectacular in such final form as approved by the City Attorney.
Background
For years, the City held an Annual Fireworks Spectacular on Lake Elsinore, which included a
“View by Boat” fireworks show over the lake. Pyro Spectaculars, Inc. located in Rialto, California
provided services. Pyro Spectaculars also performs the same service for many surrounding
communities including Diamond Stadium.
Each year, more and more attendees enjoy the production, and KOLA Radio 99.9 broadcast a
radio simulcast for the Fireworks show, which lasts approximately 20 minutes. In addition to those,
enjoying the show on the shore, limited boaters can experience the Fireworks on the Lake, sold
only at Launch Pointe.
Discussion
The Sherriff’s Department, Fire Department, Public Works Department and Community Services
Department will coordinate resources to ensure the festivities of the Fireworks Show is a fun and
safe event. In order to ensure the safety of the participants, staff will recommend street closures
and special event staffing that will be enforced with a combination of City Public Works staff and
Law Enforcement.

Fiscal Impact
Pyro Spectaculars is the primary supplier of such services in this region and is used by most other
municipalities in the area. The Fireworks Show is budgeted in the Community Services
Department operating budget for $48,000.00. In addition, there are ancillary costs for staff time
and resources that are associated with the implementation of the event for safety and law
enforcement, Public Works personnel, and required equipment rentals, which are also included
in the CSD operating budget.
If approved, an agreement will be signed and a 50% deposit of $24,000.00 will be required for
Pyro Spectaculars to secure the fireworks show. The balance would be due after the fireworks
event.
