Direct city manager to explore joint drone light show contract for July 3rd at Hilltop Mall
In Plain English
Some neighboring cities already have contracts for drone light shows, an alternative to fireworks. This directs the city manager to contact those cities and see if Richmond can join, or "piggyback" on, an existing vendor agreement to get a lower price. Staff would research options for a show at Hilltop Mall on July 3rd and report findings to the council by June 23, 2026, for a final decision.
