Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding approval of two (2) contracts between the City of San Luis and TRONIX SOUND, who will be providing sound, stage set up and lighting for the Fourth of July 2016 closing performing act. (Jennifer Cisneros, Acting Parks & Recreation Director)

Each year, the Parks and Recreation Department is responsible to provide our community with the best Fourth of July event.  We are currently negotiating with TRONIX SOUNDS, to provide us with exceptional lighting, stage and sound for all of the professional musical entertainment we plan on having as well as the event sound for our 2016 Fourth of July festivities. TRONIX SOUNDS is a local, professional sound, stage and lighting company.

TRONIX SOUNDS is currently the sound, stage and lighting company for VOZ DE MANDO, which is the professional musical band, we are wanting to have at our Fourth Of July Event. We would like to continue to keep both the band and the sound group together, rather than take any risks on the quality of the show. TRONIX SOUNDS has many years working with larger musical bands and can meet the demands and quality of the group in order to have the best show we can provide.
