In response to Vice Mayor Preston’s question, Commissioner Shanetzky replied that he stands by his vote regarding the use of the barge, which is why he is requesting this alternative. Vice Mayor Preston said although the drone show was impressive, people want fireworks.

Regular City Commission Meeting Minutes June 3, 2025 City of Deerfield Beach Page 9 Printed on 6/17/2025 CITY COMMISSION BUSINESS - CONTINUED In response to Mayor Drosky’s question, Rodney Brimlow, City Manager, said the Fourth of July event is one month away, so unfortunately fireworks are not a viable option. Commissioner Hudak said he is not opposed to having a fireworks show in the western portion of the City, but he does not believe the Tam O’ Shanter/Marty Popelsky Park will work, as there are no access points; therefore, he suggested another location, i.e. field near the Tigner Center or Quiet Waters, as he is not opposed to having an event in the western portion of the City. Commissioner Plaut said the pier will be opening at the end of summer; therefore, he suggested having a pier opening, or post-Labor Day event. Commissioner Hudak said he is not opposed to having staff look into viable options to have a fireworks show in the western portion of the City to have a Labor Day celebration. Vice Mayor Preston spoke in support of a Labor Day celebration. Thereafter, he thanked Commissioner Shanetzky for bringing this discussion forward, as the community wants fireworks. Mayor Drosky opened the public hearing. Joe Cummings, 267 Oakridge P, Deerfield Beach, said the Tam O’ Shanter/Marty Popelsky Park property will not be viable; therefore, he recommended Quiet Waters. Gwyndolen Clarke-Reed, 1430 SW 6th Way, Deerfield Beach, said the City previously held the Fourth of July at Quiet Waters, so it is a possibility. Further, she spoke in support of the pier opening suggestion, as she believes that would be an appropriate time. Katy Freitag, 418 SE 2nd Street, Deerfield Beach, spoke in support of having them off the pier or in the western part of the City. Mayor Drosky closed the public hearing. Mr. Brimlow said the Fourth of July event was held at Quiet Waters due to the closure of the beach during COVID. Further, if Quiet Waters is determined to be the chosen location, staff would have to perform an analysis, and a company would need to be hired to analyze all aspects of the parking. Mr. Brimlow said during COVID, the event needed the County’s approval and staff ran into issues with eagle nesting. Additionally, because the event occurred in the summer, the School Board approved it since school was closed; nevertheless, staff will come back with their analysis. Mayor Drosky encouraged Commissioner Shanetzky to meet with Greg Warner, Director of Parks & Recreation, to ensure everyone is on the same page. MOTION was made by Commissioner Shanetzky, seconded by Vice Mayor Preston, to direct staff to explore western locations for fireworks.
