ensure all appropriate Fireworks Permit documentation is acquired, submitted, and approved in time for
the event.
Certificates of Insurance naming the City as additional insured and/or hold harmless waivers will be
secured as necessary.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approval for use of Police and Public Works services to support the fireworks display in cooperation with
the Park District and Fire Protection District (see attached fireworks layout utilized in 2018 & 2019, to be
proposed again for 2021, pending the fireworks contractor's proposal and corresponding Fire Protection
District approval).
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
At its June 28, 2021 meeting, the members of the Committee voted unanimously to recommend approval
of the Fireworks at Reed-Keppler Park, contingent on any orders from any government related to
assembly.
