Summary

The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety approved a noise ordinance exemption for Locked Groove Records to host three bands in its yard on April 18 for National Record Store Day; the owner said neighbors were notified, campus police were informed and Elm Street Brewing will seek DORA permission to serve alcohol.

The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety approved a noise ordinance exemption for Locked Groove Records’ National Record Store Day event, scheduled for Saturday, April 18.

“My name's Celeste Dalton. I'm the owner of Locked Groove Records,” Celeste Dalton told the board, asking for a permit that will allow three bands to perform in the store’s yard. She said nearby residents were notified, adding, “There’s six apartments behind our building. I’ve left a note on each of their doors and I haven't received any opposition.”

Dalton told the board she had notified campus police about the event and that Elm Street Brewing will operate a tented alcohol service and “they'll be getting DORA permission.” The chair asked about security; Dalton said the event is small and that campus police had been notified.

After brief questions from board members, a member moved approval of the noise exemption authorization for Locked Groove Records and a second was made. The board approved the motion by voice vote; Dalton was asked to wait after the meeting so staff could sign the authorization and provide her a copy.

The exemption clears the way for the shop to host the cited performances on April 18. The board did not record a roll-call vote or individual tallies in the meeting minutes provided.

Next steps: the owner will receive the signed authorization after the meeting and organizers are responsible for ensuring campus police and any required permitting for alcohol service are in place.
