ITEM SUMMARY:
Wheaton Academy is requesting permission for a Fireworks Display after its Musical on Saturday, May 29,
2021. The musical will take place outdoors from May 27-29, 2021. Residents in the surrounding
neighborhoods will be notified by Wheaton Academy of the date and time of the fireworks display in
advance of the event.
The Special Event Permit Application has been reviewed and approved by staff from the Police, Public
Works, and Community Development Departments as well as the West Chicago Park District. The West
Chicago Fire Protection District did not sign off due to the potential of a large gathering taking place. With
the interest of the health and safety of the community and their personnel, they are unable to sign off at
this time.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Due to the West Chicago Fire Protection District not signing off, City Staff does not recommend the
fireworks to be approved since the Fire Protection District would need to be in attendance of the event
and a Fireworks Permit would need to be secured.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
At its March 22, 2021 meeting, the members of the Committee unanimously motioned to deny the
fireworks display.
